How long does a person have to file a lawsuit?
A. Under Hawaii law, an injured person has up to two years to file an accident lawsuit to recover for personal injuries and property damage arising out a motor vehicle accident. However, we recommend that you seek the advice of a lawyer right away and file your lawsuit as soon as possible. As time passes, evidence that is crucial to your claim may become unavailable or less reliable. For example, eye witnesses may move away and their accounts of what happened will become less reliable as their memories fade. In addition, a lawyer can help in documenting other evidence as soon as possible, such as photographing vehicle damage and photographing any injuries.
