Choosing a Hawaiʻi Injury Lawyer

Honolulu Accident Attorney Explains How He Helps the Injured

Video Transcript:

Wayne Parsons: 

I like to describe myself as standing between the abuse of personal power, corporate power, government power, and the individual.

Tom Mustin: 

How do you find the right lawyer for your case? We're going to talk to attorney Wayne Parsons about that on today's Ask the Lawyer. Wayne, thanks for joining us.

Wayne Parsons: 

Good to be here.

Tom Mustin: 

Great to see you. So can you tell us the type of law you practice and how long you've been representing clients in Hawaii?

Wayne Parsons: 

I help people put their lives back together after they've suffered some losses, usually through injuries that have sort of stopped everything from going forward. Sometimes people die, of course, and all the consequences of that, but there are injuries that have just derailed them from working, from conducting their normal daily activities and putting them in doctor's offices all the time, as opposed to their normal life. I like to describe myself as standing between the abuse of personal power, corporate power, government power, and the individual. That's what I've done for 40 years, and I do that in the justice system. I like to remind my clients that the judiciary, the courthouses are the people's branch of government. We have independent judges who are sitting there and hearing cases. It's not affected by political lobbying or power. Who's got what? When we started the country, when the United States was formed, the saying used to be, but this is back at the time of the Constitution and the formation of the government, that in the United States, you can sue the king.

Wayne Parsons: 

You couldn't do that in Britain. And the king and the royalty and the people who actually ran the country were immune from being ever called to task. In the United States, you can sue the king. You can sue the United States government. You can sue the president of the United States. And there are limitations on that. But in a lot of the situations where an individual has been harmed by abusive government action, there are remedies in the court system. That's what I do.

Tom Mustin: 

Well, we always appreciate your expertise, Wayne. Thank you so much for joining us again today.

Wayne Parsons: 

Good to be here. Have a great day.
