HONOLULU (AP) — A federal judge approved a $1.3 million settlement in a lawsuit filed by a motorcyclist who suffered permanent brain injury in a 2012 collision in Honolulu.
Aaron Aloya filed the suit against the driver who crashed into him, Kaori Isomura, and motorcycle helmet manufacturer Shoei Safety Helmet Corp.
Aloya claims the helmet he was wearing failed to protect him in the crash.
The settlement amount announced Tuesday includes the $300,000 maximum coverage under Isomura’s insurance policy and the $1 million maximum insurance coverage of Smart car owner Ichiriki Inc.
Aloya’s claim against the helmet manufacturer is pending. Trial in the case is scheduled for November 2016.
