Maui, Kauai, Lanai, and Big Island Brain Injury Claims
Handling an Outer Island injury claim from a main office in Honolulu
does not pose any significant challenges to a timely and successful
prosecution of the claim. Regardless of which island an accident
takes place on, the investigative workup of the
case usually will be done by local photographers and investigators hired by this office.
Photos, videos, statements and the like will be gathered by a photographer and a
local investigative firm familiar with the accident scene and the tendencies
of the people in that area. Once that is completed, there may be
expert witness workup of the facts and circumstances of the case.
Although there are competent expert witnesses in many fields on the
outer islands, for the most part the experienced and highly qualified
experts are located on the island of Oahu. Hence, there are many ways
in which it is beneficial to have an attorney handling an Outer Island case
located in Honolulu.
Once the proper workup has been done, efforts to settle
the claim with the applicable insurance companies often require
high level negotiations with management of the insurer.
The adjuster generally does not have authority to commit the insurer
to a reasonable value on most settlements. Hence, the real
nuts and bolts negotiation on most insurance settlements takes
place right here in Honolulu- with your attorney and often the insurance
adjuster both trying to get the insurer's management to come
through with a reasonable value to settle a case. In short, it is
often an advantage to have a Honolulu attorney when settlement
negotiations are taking place.
Over the years Brain Injury Lawyers William H. Lawson
and Amy L. Woodward have vigorously and competently represented
clients for matters on all islands in the State of Hawaii while
maintaining a high degree of contact and communication with
our clients by phone, by email and by regular mail.
In order to maintain prompt contact - every
effort is made to respond to communications the day
that they occur. For our Outer Island clients on
Maui, Kauai, the Big Island, Molokai and so forth - we have
frequently advanced the costs of travel for depositions and
client conferences here in Honolulu. Frequently, an attorney
will also visit you on your home island to travel with you
to the accident scene and/or to see and record the impact of the
injuries on your life.
Should the matter proceed to trial, our office has successfully handled
personal injury arbitrations and trials for Maui, Kauai, Hawaii and

should it be necessary, we

other Outer Islands - and we are prepared to do that again in an
appropriate situation.
