Fatal Vehicle Accidents in Hawaii

In Hawaii, authorities report that a significant number of individuals lose their lives as a result of motor vehicle accidents yearly. Tragically, these accidents are typically a result of drivers who fail to follow traffic laws. When it comes to drivers being distracted, texting and driving is becoming a serious problem in the United States, causing millions of accidents and injuries per year. Over the last year, at least 7,000 pedestrians lost their lives in car accidents across the country.

Moreover, pedestrians and bicyclists are more likely to suffer severe and fatal injuries in accidents because they do not have the protection provided by a traditional passenger vehicle. As a result, they suffer significant trauma to the head, internal organ injuries, and other injuries that can ultimately take their lives.
