Injured on Kauaʻi? We know the roads, the courts, and the local realities, and we put that knowledge to work for you.
Kauaʻi's two-lane highways, Kuhio Highway and Kaumualiʻi Highway, link Lihue, Kapaʻa, and Poʻipū, where a serious crash can mean care far from a major trauma center. Island cases are heard in the Fifth Circuit Court in Lihue, with treatment often at Wilcox Medical Center.
Riders are far more exposed than other motorists and often face unfair assumptions about fault. We tell the rider's side of the story and fight for full compensation.
Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome. Each case is unique and is evaluated on its own facts.
Most motorcycle accident cases begin with an insurance claim, not a lawsuit. After a crash, your claim is typically opened with the insurance company for the at-fault driver or another responsible party. If the insurance company denies liability or refuses to offer a fair settlement, filing a lawsuit may become necessary. Motorcycle accident lawsuits arising on Kauaʻi are generally filed in the Fifth Circuit Court in Līhuʻe. Mattoch & Kirley handles the entire process, from investigating the crash and dealing with insurance companies to filing suit and representing you in court if a fair settlement cannot be reached. We work to pursue full compensation for your medical expenses, lost income, pain and suffering, and other damages.
