Legal Question in Personal Injury in Hawaii

Re: Pedestrian Accident

Under Hawaii's no-fault law, you are entitled to have your medical expenses (up to $10,000) paid by the PIP insurance on the car that hit you. You should contact that insurer (you can find the name on the police report) and submit a claim for benefits. Then if you reach $5,000.00 in medical expenses actually paid out by the PIP insurer, you will be able to bring a claim for your disability, your lost earnings, your pain and suffering and so forth. For further information, please feel free to contact me at [email protected].

Re: Pedestrian Accident

Your friend is correct. It is best to have a lawyer represent your interests. To begin with, because you were a pedestrian, the car's insurance must pay your medical expenses. Thus, make sure that you get a claim number from the driver's insurance company. You may call me at anytime for a free consultation. I work on a contingency fee meaning that there is no fee if I do not recover for you. If I do recover for you the fee is one-third of the recovery. Good luck to you.
