Our Contributors

We created Hawaii Injuries with a simple mission: to make the path after an injury easier to understand for people who are already dealing with enough. As reporters, we saw too many individuals and families get lost in the insurance process, overwhelmed by paperwork, confusing terms, delayed answers, and decisions that carried real consequences for their health, finances, and recovery. We wanted to build a publication that explains these issues clearly, follows the facts closely, and keeps the human impact at the center. Our coverage focuses on personal injuries, workplace accidents, and the practical recovery resources people often need when life is suddenly interrupted. We report on how injuries happen, what recovery can involve, how insurance and claims processes unfold, and what questions people commonly face in the aftermath. We also pay close attention to the everyday realities behind these stories: time away from work, medical treatment, family stress, and the challenge of getting back to normal. We are rooted in Hawaii, and that matters to the way we report. We approach this work with respect for local communities, a sense of responsibility to our readers, and a commitment to clarity over noise. Our writers, including Keoni Makoa, Jennifer Nakamura, Brandon Silva, and Lisa Fernandez, bring care, discipline, and a strong editorial eye to every piece we publish. We're here to help people feel better informed, less isolated, and more prepared for what comes next.
