Pedestrian Protections Under Hawaii Law in Honolulu, HI
Hawaii law generally gives pedestrians the right of way within marked and unmarked crosswalks, and drivers are required to exercise due care to avoid colliding with someone on foot.
Pedestrians struck by vehicles can suffer serious injuries since there’s little protection against the force of impact, including fractures, head trauma, and internal injuries that may not be immediately apparent. Because of this, seeking a follow-up medical evaluation, even after being checked out at the scene, can help catch injuries that take time to fully surface.
Hawaii is a no-fault insurance state, but pedestrians hurt by a vehicle aren’t always covered by their own auto policy the way a driver would be, so to understand what insurance applies, whether it’s the driver’s policy, the pedestrian’s own coverage, or another source, is an early step that often benefits from a Honolulu pedestrian accident’s guidance.
Establishing exactly how the crash happened, including witness accounts and any available traffic camera footage near the intersection, can also matter for a claim that involves a pedestrian, since fault isn’t always immediately clear.
