Man on scooter injured in collision with Honolulu police officer

HONOLULU, HI – A scooter rider was injured in a collision with a Honolulu Police Department officer last week, police said.

The incident took place Thursday night on Farrington Highway near Leihoku Street in the Waianae area. An initial police investigation determined that a 29-year-old man was riding a scooter at about 8:15 p.m. and attempted to cross multiple lanes of Farrington Highway outside of a marked crosswalk.

The rider entered the path of a police officer heading west on Farrington Highway and was struck by the vehicle. The pedestrian was ejected onto the roadway and taken to an area hospital in serious condition. The officer was not injured in the scooter collision.

Investigators do not believe speed, drugs or alcohol were contributing factors in the accident.

I'm so glad I met Glenn. He's honest, smart, and approachable. Glenn gave great advice during the initial consultation (free of charge, by the way). Through his guidance, I negotiated a settlement with the insurance company. His staff is great, too — professional, respectful, skilled and kind. The location of his office is convenient.

Glenn and the Recovery Law Center were there for me and my wife every step of her recovery. Glenn made sure we understood what we needed to and didn't drown us in the details while also being easy to reach and ask questions. His expertise was top notch and advice was always on point.

I was Glenn Honda's client twice. Both times, he was my personal injury attorney. The first time, I was walking out the door of this building and the hydraulic malfunctioned, shoving me out. Well, as the door shoved me forward, it caught one of my fingers and partially amputated it. (It's fine now thank God). The insurance company wouldn't even pay my emergency bills. Glenn even hired an engineer to show that the hydraulic was defective. He made the insurance company pay! The second time I was walking and there was dirt and leaves covering a more than one-inch rise in the sidewalk. The City scoffed at me and my claim. But again, Glenn Honda to the rescue — He took the case all the way to arbitration. I recommend him. He fights hard for his clients.

Recovery Law Center made my legal experience entirely stress-free. I had two face-to-face meetings and a handful of phone calls with them. I hope I won't need their services in the future, but I will not hesitate for a second to call them if I find myself on the bad side of another rear-end! Mahalo to Jolie, Glenn, and the rest of the staff at Recovery Law Center for making this ordeal completely painless! Aloha!

Glen and his staff are incredible!!! We were in quite a jam for 9 months... They got the best results possible. They really reach out to those who need it. They stuck by our side the whole time... We are a new family starting out and without their help we would be sunk. Thank you Glen and George.
