Hawaii Car Accident Laws Every Driver Should Know
Hawaii’s car accident laws are designed to protect everyone who uses the road. Knowing these rules before a crash helps drivers make informed decisions and handle the aftermath more effectively.
Hawaii follows a no-fault insurance system. After a crash, each driver’s insurance covers their own medical expenses through personal injury protection (PIP) coverage, regardless of who caused the accident. PIP helps pay for necessary medical treatment, rehabilitation, and related costs.
Drivers must also carry liability insurance, which pays for injuries or property damage they cause to others. Reviewing your policy regularly ensures your coverage meets Hawaii’s minimum requirements. It also helps confirm that you have enough protection in serious accidents.
Accidents that cause injury, death, or property damage over $3,000 must be reported to the Honolulu Police Department. These reports create an official record and are often required when filing insurance or legal claims.
Medical care should be your top priority after any crash. Some injuries take time to appear. Visiting a doctor right away helps detect hidden issues and documents the link between your injuries and the collision.
Hawaii also follows a comparative negligence rule. If more than one driver shares fault for a crash, compensation is reduced by the percentage of each person’s responsibility. Understanding this law can help you anticipate how insurers may evaluate your claim.
Uninsured motorist (UM) coverage offers protection when the at-fault driver has no insurance at all. This optional policy covers your medical expenses, lost wages, and other losses that would otherwise go unpaid. Reviewing your insurance policy helps you confirm whether you have this important coverage in place.
A Kapolei personal injury lawyer can guide you through Hawaii’s insurance process, explain your rights, and communicate with insurers on your behalf. Legal guidance ensures deadlines are met, and your claim is supported with strong documentation.
