Our thoughts are with everyone affected by this wreck.
Why Are Rollover Crashes So Dangerous in Kula, HI?
Rollover crashes are dangerous because the force of a vehicle rolling over can cause serious head, neck, and spinal injuries. The risk may increase if the roof collapses or someone is thrown from the vehicle during the crash.
When a vehicle loses stability, several factors can contribute to a rollover. High speed, sharp turns, tire problems, and top-heavy vehicle designs can make a vehicle more likely to tip or roll, especially during sudden steering movements.
If questions arise about how the rollover happened, police reports, photographs, witness accounts, and vehicle damage can help establish the sequence. These details may show how the vehicle began to roll and what happened during the collision.
Because Hawaii uses a no-fault insurance system, personal injury protection coverage generally pays qualifying medical and rehabilitation expenses after a crash regardless of who caused it. This coverage can help with early treatment costs while a claim develops.
Once a claim goes beyond available no-fault benefits, compensation may include lost income and pain and suffering when Hawaii law allows a liability claim. The amount available depends on the losses involved and the insurance coverage that applies.
While you may still recover compensation if you share responsibility for a crash, your recovery is reduced by your percentage of fault. If your share of fault is greater than the other party’s, you cannot recover from that party.
If the drivers disagree about what happened, a Kula car accident lawyer can review how the crash unfolded and help determine each driver’s role. An attorney can also address disputes with the insurance companies as the claim moves forward.
