Honolulu Pedestrian Accident Attorney

Hawaii is tied with Louisiana as being the 6th most dangerous state for pedestrians. This is certainly not a record to be proud of, and one we would like to lose. Each year in Hawaii, pedestrians suffer severe and sometimes fatal injuries. Pedestrian injuries and fatalities remain high. In 2019, 6,205 pedestrians were killed, and an estimated 76,000 pedestrians were injured nationwide according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Most of these accidents are caused by drivers who are distracted, driving aggressively, impaired by alcohol or drugs, or are otherwise negligent.

Pedestrian Accidents can be caused by:

  • Distracted driving
  • Reckless driving
  • Speeding
  • Failure to follow traffic signs or signals
  • Failure to yield the right of way
  • Failure to signal
  • Poor weather or traffic conditions
  • Driving while impaired
  • Driving while drowsy or fatigued

Hawaii is especially dangerous for people 65 and over. The AARP ranks Hawaii as the most dangerous state in the nation for pedestrians 65 and older. No matter the age, pedestrians are at high risk of injury in Hawaii. In some cases, both the pedestrian and the driver may be at fault. In these cases, the pedestrian may still be entitled to compensation, but compensation could be reduced depending on how much responsibility was on the pedestrian for the accident.

Not all pedestrian accidents result in just injuries. Some pedestrian injuries can be fatal. Even at low speeds, the weight and mass of a vehicle colliding with a pedestrian can leave them with injuries that are debilitating and even life-threatening.

Pedestrian injuries can include:

  • Soft tissue injuries
  • Brain injuries
  • Spinal cord injuries
  • Chest and abdominal injuries
  • Broken bones
  • Torn tendons and ligaments
  • Disc herniation

I had some issues setting up my account for AOR CCW insurance, specifically with the payment portion, which kept giving me an error. Derek helped me get the account activated and resolved the issue quickly. He had a great, peaceful, and helpful attitude throughout the process. Excellent customer service.
Response from the owner:Thanks for your kind words! We are lucky to have Derek! Another USMC member of our team too!

I can’t recommend this firm enough! From start to finish Crystal and Attorney Emma Wittmann, they provided guidance, support, and care that truly set them apart from other lawyers I’ve encountered. Unlike firms that seem focused only on money, this team genuinely cares about people and takes the time to guide you. I am so grateful for their expertise and kindness, they made a stressful process so much easier to understand

Joey N. Hamby, Esq really went above and beyond for my case. He answered my call in the middle of the night when I was unsure of how to handle the situation regarding a order of protection. after that, he followed up with the case. Joey ensured that all of my legal fees were taken care of and I was in the hands of a good attorney. He also continued to check up on me throughout the course of the time. afterwards, He followed up to ensure that I was satisfied with all service. I would highly recommend using him and A.O.R. and also understand that they do more than just protect you in shooting instances. It covers a lot more than just that. my legal fees would have been well in excess of eight thousand dollars. If I had to pay them out of pocket.
