Answering Your Frequently Asked Questions
Hawaii uses a no-fault system for injury claims, but property damage is handled differently. Each driver’s insurance company is generally responsible for covering damage to their own vehicle through collision coverage. If you do not carry collision coverage, you may need to pursue the at-fault driver for repairs. When fault is clear, the other driver’s liability insurance may pay for your vehicle damage. Your Honolulu personal injury attorney can help review your policy and the crash report to identify all available coverage and the best way to recover the cost of repairs.
In most car accident cases, you have two years from the date of the crash to file a claim in court. This deadline can change in limited situations, such as when a government vehicle is involved or when a minor is injured. Waiting too long can limit your options, so it is important to gather records, document your injuries, and speak with an experienced Hawaii car accident lawyer as soon as possible.
After a crash, you may be able to recover several types of compensation. This can include medical expenses, future treatment costs, lost wages, and reduced earning ability. You may also be eligible for payment for pain and suffering, as well as the cost to repair or replace your vehicle. In Hawaii’s no-fault system, your own Personal Injury Protection (PIP) coverage pays for initial medical care and lost wages up to policy limits. If your injuries meet certain thresholds, you may pursue a claim against the at-fault driver for additional damages. A trusted Hawaii car accident lawyer can help calculate the full value of your losses and build a strong claim.
Yes. Hawaii follows a modified comparative fault rule. This means you can still recover damages as long as you are not more than 50 percent at fault for the accident. Your recovery is reduced by your share of fault. For example, if you are found 20 percent responsible, your total compensation is reduced by 20 percent. Insurance companies often dispute fault, so it is important to collect photos, witness statements, and medical records that support your position.
Most crashes are caused by human error. Common factors include distracted driving, speeding, impaired driving, and failure to obey traffic signals or yield the right of way. Fatigue and aggressive driving also play a role. While road conditions and weather can contribute, human error remains the leading cause in the vast majority of accidents. Knowing these factors can help you stay alert on the road and understand how liability may be determined in your case.
