National Reputation
Galiher DeRobertis & Waxman is well-known as one of most resourceful and aggressive law firms in the state of Hawai‘i. Indeed, we have a nationwide reputation for being among the best in the business. Our firm has achieved settlements in the hundreds of millions, and even billions of dollars. We successfully recovered over $1.38 billion for the taxpayers of Hawai‘i in the tobacco litigation, and helped achieve a $400 million nationwide settlement in a fraud case against Travelers Insurance Company. The Galiher firm can truly offer the highest quality of litigation skills and experience to our Maui clients.
Maui Roots
Our attorneys also have a strong personal connection to Maui County. Ilana Waxman was born and raised in Haiku, Maui, and is a proud graduate of Baldwin High School. Many from our firm were born and raised on Maui and the other neighbor islands. With our outstanding national reputation and deep local roots, the Galiher firm is perfectly positioned to handle any serious personal injury case that arises on Maui.
Our Results
The Galiher firm has represented numerous clients who were seriously injured on Maui, in cases that ranged from recreational injuries to occupational illness to automobile claims. We have recovered millions of dollars on behalf of our Maui clients, including:
- A large confidential settlement for a woman who was paralyzed in a tragic downhill bicycle accident. Our client was on a downhill bicycle tour with her husband as part of their dream Maui vacation. Tragically, she lost control of the bike and crossed the double yellow line into an oncoming car. She was left paraplegic. After careful investigation, our attorneys were able to show that the tour leaders had failed to follow their own safety procedures.
- A confidential settlement for the children of a Lahaina auto mechanic who died of an occupational cancer after working with toxic products. Although his exposure took place three decades ago, our attorneys were able to track down former co-workers who had worked with our client at Maui Pine during the 1970s and 80s. Through our diligence, we were able to obtain a very significant recovery for his family.
