WAIPAHU, HI – A motorcyclist was critically injured in a collision in Waipahu on Saturday night, according to the Honolulu Police Department.

The department’s Traffic Division determined that a motorist was driving westbound on Malakeke Street at about 7:15 p.m. and traveled into the eastbound lane to try and overtake another vehicle. The motorist collided with an electric motorcycle being driven by a 19-year-old man.

The motorcyclist, who was not wearing a helmet, was ejected onto the roadway and was transported by EMS to an area hospital in critical condition.

The driver, a 44-year-old man, and his juvenile passenger were not injured in the crash and stayed at the scene.

Investigators believe speed was a contributing factor in the incident but have yet to determine whether drugs or alcohol were involved.

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.

From my first exchange of words, I felt comfortable. I felt that every single person at the Recovery Law Center understood everything I was dealing with. I can't express enough gratitude, and I still struggle to put my emotions into words that would do them justice. What was and still remains effortless is trusting that the people there will always have my best interests at heart.

Once again, I had the misfortune of being in an accident on the road again. First time, a careless tourist hit me while I was driving on my motorcycle and just recently, a rear end collision while waiting for the traffic light to change. In both cases, I have been well informed on getting a fair settlement for my injuries, and resolving all issues, including recommending a physician that specialized in assisting in my recovery on the injuries. I highly recommend Glenn Honda, and his staff at Recovery Law Center to anyone who is looking for a law firm that knows the legal system and cares about their clients too.

Compassionate & Aggressive Representation. I was at a stop light when I was hit from behind by someone who was not paying attention. In addition to the damages to my car I was injured. The insurance company overwhelmed me with paperwork. It was an extremely difficult time for me. I was referred to Mr. Honda by a friend. Mr. Honda was only concerned about me and my injuries. He told me to concentrate on getting better and not to worry about anything else. It was such a relief not having to worry about the paperwork jungle that the insurance company was putting me through. He was able to negotiate a fair settlement for me without having to go through litigation. I would recommend Mr. Honda because his focus is really on the client's well being rather than the dollar amount of the case. Thank you Mr. Honda for your compassion towards me and, your aggressive approach with the insurance company.
