Auto Accidents

Honolulu, Big Island, Maui & Kauai Car Accidents

Experienced, accomplished lawyers at Cronin, Fried, Sekiya, Kekina & Fairbanks, a prominent personal injury law firm in Hawaii, have represented hundreds of victims of auto accidents throughout the state as well as in other parts of the world. Awards for pain and suffering are often a large part of the recovery that we procure for our injured clients.

To schedule a consultation after a car accident, motorcycle accident, or truck accident in Hawaii or elsewhere, that resulted in serious injury, contact us.

We handle auto accident cases involving catastrophic injuries including head injury, spinal cord injury with resulting paralysis, amputation, loss of an eye, or death of a driver, passenger, pedestrian, or bicyclist.

See news articles about auto accident cases that our law firm has successfully handled.

Our law firm confidently and compassionately guides victims and their families through all the phases and stages of automobile accident cases, including the following:

  • All stages of the claims process
  • Coordination of payment of medical expenses
  • Recovery of insurance benefits
  • Prosecution of legal action against any party that contributed to injury

Identifying any and all sources of liability is a large part of what we do when we take on an auto accident case. Responsible parties may include:

  • Reckless drivers who ran a red light or stop sign, changed lanes without signaling, failed to yield right of way, or drove inattentively while talking on cell phones or otherwise engaging in distractive activities
  • Bars and liquor establishments that served alcohol to patrons who were already intoxicated
  • Employers that provided alcohol at company events and failed to provide rides home or other controls designed to prevent drinking and driving by employees
  • Insurance companies liable for damages after a covered accident

Often, Cronin, Fried, Sekiya, Kekina & Fairbanks handles car accident cases that go on to appeals. As a result of the outcome of our clients' cases, we have effectively extended the law in Hawaii in various arenas related to auto accidents.

Learn how Cronin, Fried, Sekiya, Kekina & Fairbanks can fight for you and your family if you were seriously injured or lost a family member in a fatal car crash in Hawaii.
