Honolulu Car Accident Lawyer

Injured in a crash on Oʻahu? We know Honolulu's roads, its hospitals, and its courts, and we put that knowledge to work for you.

Car accidents on Oʻahu's roads

Honolulu carries some of the heaviest traffic in the state. The H-1 freeway, the Nimitz Highway corridor, and busy surface streets through Waikiki, Kalihi, and Ala Moana see frequent collisions, and a crash here often means navigating dense traffic, tourist drivers, and crowded intersections. When you are hurt, the recovery can feel as overwhelming as the accident itself.

Mattoch & Kirley has represented injured Oʻahu drivers, passengers, riders, and pedestrians for more than thirty years. Our downtown office on Bishop Street is minutes from The Queen's Medical Center and from the First Circuit Court, where Oʻahu crash claims are filed. We handle the insurers and the process while you focus on healing.

Honolulu Car Accident Questions

Questions from Oʻahu drivers

Personal injury claims arising from Oʻahu accidents. A claim is generally filed with insurance companies involved. If we are not able to negotiate settlement of your claim, we will file a complaint in Hawaii's First Circuit Court in Honolulu. We handle the filing and all court appearances for you.

Hawaii generally allows two years from the date of the accident, but specific circumstances can change that. Speaking with an attorney early helps preserve evidence and protect your deadline.

Hawaii uses a no-fault insurance system, which affects how medical bills are paid by your Personal Injury Protection (PIP) benefits. You can step outside no-fault to pursue a claim against the at-fault driver when your medical bills total $5,000 more. We can explain your PIP benefits and how it applies to your situation.

You may still have a path to compensation through your own uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage. We review every available source of recovery.
