HONOLULU, HI – A man riding an electric scooter was critically injured in a crash in the Kalihi area, according to the Honolulu Police Department.

The incident occurred March 11 in the vicinity of Palama Street and Lakimela Lane at about 7:15 p.m. Investigators determined that a motorist was trying to reverse into a private driveway on Palama Street when the scooter operator attempted to go around the rear of the vehicle. The scooter collided with the passenger side taillight.

The scooter operator, age 54, lost control and was ejected onto the roadway. He was transported to an area hospital in critical condition. The motorist, a 30-year-old man, was not injured and stayed at the scene.

Investigators do not believe speed, drugs, or alcohol contributed to the crash. They added that the scooter operator was not wearing a helmet at the time it happened.

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.

An impressive Attorney. Mr. Honda was referred to me as a good lawyer. I have been represented by lawyers in the past 35 years since my husband was killed and I viewed Mr. Honda as a good attorney but since the lawyer on the opposing side was aggressive and almost intimidating as I sat by Mr. Honda's side I did not have positive or negative feelings. When it became Mr. Honda's turn to ask questions of the opposite party, his demeanor changed. Initially he did not appear to be listening intensely yet he remembered every point and in a concise, skilled and competent manner he discredited every important factor in the case. He was creative and exuded a winning energy that really amazed and surprised me. He was great and very impressive and I would very highly recommend him to everyone.
