If an establishment could have done more to protect you, you may have a case of negligent security or supervision on Maui.

Negligent supervision on Maui failing to properly supervise children, adults or employees, resulting in injuries to either the children, adults, or employees themselves; or others as a result of not properly supervising them.

Negligent security is a form of premises liability where the property owner knew or should have known that they failed to provide enough of a secure area or establishment, and such a failure resulted in injuries. Injuries in a negligent security case could be caused by robbery, assault, or battery.

If you're able and it's safe, call the police or 911. Police will document the scene, collect witness statements, gather insurance information of all parties, and make a preliminary determination of what happened and what security measures were available at the time.

Though the police do their best, sometimes they don't get all the critical information. If it's safe and you're able, try to take pictures of the scene, including: cars or vehicles involved; witnesses; the road; and anything else that you think could be important. There can never be enough information to look over. Something small now may be critical later on.

If you've called the police of 911, chances are an ambulance with medics will arrive. Many times adrenaline will cause you to overlook injuries. Let medics examine you. Don't be afraid to take an ambulance to the hospital if recommended.

Once you've been medically stabilized and recovering, it is time to begin the insurance claims or litigation process. The establishment with negligent supervision or negligent security may have specific insurance which provides coverage for victims in such situations.

After the initial trauma and shock wears off from the incident, it will be time to start comprehensive treatment. You'll usually start by following up with your primary care provider, who will dictate your treatment. Treatment varies: it can be conservative such as massage therapy and physical therapy. It could require surgery immediately or down the road. Whatever it may be, it is important to listen to your doctors and keep up with their treatment plan not only for your well-being, but to preserve your rights related to your case.

When the time is right, your case will be ready to settle or proceed with litigation.

Settling prematurely will only lead to not being made whole.
