Honolulu Motorcycle Accident Lawyer

Skilled Motorcycle & Bicycle Accident Lawyers Protecting Victims in Honolulu, Hawaii

Motorcycle Accident Lawyer HonoluluFor more than 30 years, Shim & Chang has advocated on behalf of injury victims in Hawaii, including adults and children hurt in motorcycle, bicycle, and moped accidents. When a person riding an exposed, two-wheel vehicle is struck by a car, truck, or bus, the potential for serious injuries is high. Our Honolulu motorcycle accident lawyer is known for handling complex medical cases, as well as cases that require creative and resourceful representation to obtain a fair recovery.

MOTORCYCLE ACCIDENTS

Unfortunately, car and truck drivers often fail to watch out for motorcyclists on the road, resulting in serious car accidents in which the motorcyclist is much more likely to be hurt than the motor vehicle driver. If a motorist turned into your lane, violated your right-of-way, or was generally unobservant behind the wheel, Shim & Chang can help you obtain compensation for your injuries. We also have extensive experience handling defective product cases and will check to see if a defective helmet, motorcycle component, or mechanical issue caused or contributed to your accident, ensuring that you recover from all liable parties.

BICYCLE ACCIDENTS

Bicyclists are vulnerable to personal injury in many different situations, and our Hawaii bike accident lawyers are qualified to handle them all, including:

  • Motorists turning into bike lanes
  • Collisions with motorists at intersections
  • Sudden door openings, or being “doored
  • Defective equipment, including helmets, brakes, and tires
  • Roadway debris, such as loose gravel, resulting from improper road maintenance
  • Dangerous roadways containing potholes and uneven pavement

Visitors to Hawaii often rent bikes to explore the Islands. If you or a family member was involved in a bicycle accident while on vacation, we handle tourist claims, providing effective long-distance representation.

MOPED ACCIDENTS

Mopeds are inherently dangerous vehicles, as they are small, light, and can go quite fast. In many situations, young drivers use mopeds because they are less expensive than cars and faster than bicycles. Shim & Chang successfully handled a landmark moped accident case in which a 14-year-old newspaper dealer was struck by a car that ran a stop sign. The boy suffered severe head injuries, a ruptured spleen, and a fractured femur. We held the newspaper company accountable for his damages because they gave him the moped to use when he did not have a license.
