Compensation After a Hit-and-Run Accident in Maui

Being involved in a hit-and-run accident in Maui can be overwhelming, but victims may be entitled to seek compensation for a range of losses. One of the primary forms of recovery is medical expenses. This includes emergency care, hospital visits, surgeries, medications, rehabilitation, and any ongoing therapy required due to injuries sustained in the accident.

Lost wages are another key component. If the accident prevents the victim from working, either temporarily or long-term, compensation can cover income lost during recovery. In cases where injuries reduce the ability to perform previous work, reduced earning capacity claims may also be pursued to address long-term financial impacts.

Pain and suffering an important considerations in hit-and-run cases. Financial compensation may account for the physical pain, emotional distress, and trauma caused by the accident, including anxiety or fear of future accidents.

Property damage is also recoverable. Bicycle riders, motorcyclists, or drivers involved may seek reimbursement for damaged vehicles, equipment, or personal belongings.

Hawaii law allows victims of hit-and-run accidents to pursue claims through their own insurance policies, such as uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage, and, when possible, against the responsible driver if they are identified.

Navigating these claims can be complex, and having an experienced Maui car accident lawyer can make a significant difference. An attorney can help evaluate the case, gather evidence, and ensure that victims pursue all available avenues for compensation, allowing them to focus on recovery.
