LIHUE, HI – A motorcycle rider was seriously injured Monday morning in a crash with a vehicle in Lihue, according to Hawaii News Now.

The collision happened just before 6 a.m. in the area of Kuhio Highway and Kuamoo Road. Police said the driver of a 2003 Jeep SUV was going north on Kuhio Highway and was attempting to make a left turn onto Kuamoo Road. The Jeep struck the side of an electric motorcycle traveling south on Kuhio Highway.

The motorcyclist, a 42-year-old man from Kapaa, was ejected from the bike and taken to Wilcox Medical Center in serious condition before being transferred to Queen’s Medical Center. He was not wearing a helmet at the time of the accident, police said.

The driver of the Jeep, a 38-year-old Hanapepe man, was not injured.

Kuhio Highway was shut down in both direction near the scene for about two hours while the Kauai Police Department’s Traffic Safety section conducted its investigation.

Recovery Law Center's communication skills were great! They hold my hands every step during my difficult time. It was not easy to understand laws and regulations, but they explained clearly every time I asked. They really took care of me and I highly recommended Recovery Law Center to everyone!

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.

In 2010 I opened my business called Sophisticated Facial and Nail Spa; then I had an accident. I tried to move a safe out of my business and it fell on my whole body. The safe weighed over 3,000 pounds. I was in the hospital for 29 days and when I got out of the hospital I called my insurance company and they told me that this accident wouldn't be covered under my business insurance. So I contacted a couple different attorneys but none of them would take on my case. I hired a company to paint my business and then she saw that my hand had a big scar. She asked me what happened to my elbow. I told her I had an accident here at my business and my business insurance company wouldn't cover it. She asked me if I had an attorney and I explained that I went to a couple of attorneys and none of them would take on my case. She recommended an attorney by the name of Glenn Honda. I contacted him and he took my case. Glenn was very passionate and explained to me that I have a good case. In the end Glenn won my case and as a favor to me because of everything I went through that he would give me a discount and not take as much as he normally does. Glenn settled my case in less than one year. I would highly recommend Glenn Honda for any personal injury accidents. Thank you Glenn Honda for all of your help and support with my case.
