TYPICAL DAMAGES IN AUTO COLLISION CASES

While most people who are involved in car accidents emerge without serious long-term injuries, some are less fortunate. Catastrophic auto accidents can result in severe spinal cord, neck, and brain injuries or, even more tragically, wrongful death. If you or a member of your family has been harmed in such a crash and is looking for a car accident attorney in the Honolulu area, the experienced lawyers of Leavitt Yamane & Soldner can help.  We handle car accident cases of all types and will fight for the full measure of damages to which you are entitled.

WHAT SORTS OF COMPENSATION CAN I EXPECT IN MY CASE?

The exact compensation you can expect in your case depends on a number of factors, including whether you shared some fault for the accident, your out-of-pocket expenses, and the nature of your injuries.  Only through careful investigation, reconstruction, and analysis of your car accident can an attorney at our Honolulu law firm estimate the damages to which you are entitled.
 
In general, however, most car accident victims are able to recover compensation for whatever losses and expenses resulted from their injuries, including medical bills, rehabilitation expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering.  In rare cases of egregiously reckless negligence, punitive damages – compensation awarded solely to punish the defendant – may also be awarded.
 
If, regrettably, you have lost a member of your family in a car accident, our lawyers will also be able to argue for compensation for funeral-related costs, as well as for losses and expenses that can reasonably be projected into the future.  Commonly, wrongful death lawsuits result in compensation for future lost income and benefits, loss of support, loss of consortium, and mental anguish.
