Drunk Driving Accidents

Honolulu Attorneys for Victims of Drunk Drivers

A man is sitting in his home at Christmastime. Suddenly, a car crashes into his living room. The man is hit and almost killed, leaving him with life-altering injuries. He ends up homeless, living in his car on the beach.

The driver of the car was drunk, and this man became our client. Our experienced and respected lawyers helped him win his personal injury case.

Hawaii courts take driving under the influence very seriously. Many people do not realize that in drunk driving accident cases where significant injury is involved, punitive damages may be awarded. At Trecker & Fritz, we fight hard for our clients to get them the compensation they need and deserve for their medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering. We also fight to maximize punitive damages in these cases.

Drunk driving accident cases are not the only ones in Hawaii where punitive damage awards are possible. Distracted drivers, including those who cause an accident while talking on a cell phone, can also be forced to pay.

At Trecker & Fritz, we use our experience and technological savvy to build the strongest case we can in your drunk driving accident or distracted driver case. We will pursue all those responsible for your serious injuries, not just the other driver. We work to find creative solutions for identifying the liable parties, specifically those with the insurance coverage to pay for your damages.

Under Hawaii's dram shop law, bars, nightclubs, liquor stores and supermarkets are not allowed to serve or sell alcohol to anyone they know or reasonably should know is intoxicated. We have successfully handled significant cases against these businesses who have negligently contributed to a drunk driving accident by serving known alcoholics, people who were drunk or underage patrons.

"Both my wife and I have Doctorates. I work with the Department of Defense. When my wife was improperly treated by a doctor and suffered devastating injuries, we needed someone with experience and skill to help us pursue our claim. I went to my son who was a lawyer who represents doctors in malpractice cases. He found Trecker & Fritz. They were creative, intelligent and highly professional in obtaining a very good result for us."

"My original lawyer wanted me to settle for the first offer from the insurance company. It was really a low offer since I had surgery and was unable to go back to my old job. Fortunately, Trecker & Fritz was willing to take over my case. I was really happy with the result and their handling of my case."
