Common Causes of Car Accidents in Kona, Hawaii

Unavoidable natural acts, like sudden wind gusts, cause a handful of car accidents. Defective products, such as defective tires, cause a few crashes as well.

Driver error is the leading cause of Kona vehicle crashes.
Our legal team often sees accidents caused by:

  • Distracted driving (phones, texting)

  • Drunk or drugged driving

  • Speeding or reckless driving

  • Running red lights or stop signs

  • Fatigued or drowsy drivers

However, driver error causes about 95 percent of the vehicle collisions in Hawaii. To obtain compensation in these cases, Kamuela car accident lawyers typically use one of the following two legal theories:

  • Ordinary Negligence: Most drivers have a duty of reasonable care. They must drive defensively and avoid wrecks if possible. Commercial operators, such as Uber drivers and truck drivers, have an even higher duty of care.
  • Negligence Per Se: If the tortfeasor (negligent driver) violated a safety law and that violation substantially caused injury, the tortfeasor may be liable for damages as a matter of law. It does not matter how careful the tortfeasor was or was not.

Many claims involve third party liability. For example, if a bar, restaurant, or other commercial provider serves alcohol to someone who is obviously intoxicated and that person causes a vehicle collision, a Kamuela car accident lawyer may file a claim against the provider.
