Do you wish to find out more about the various types of automobile insurance coverages which are sold in Hawaii? These have been summarized for you at the following link:
___
- The deadline for filing a lawsuit in court to make claims for injuries arising out of a motor vehicle accident is generally two years from the date of the accident- or two years from the date of the last no fault, worker's compensation or public assistance benefit payment related to the accident, if such payments are made. You must file your claims in court prior to the expiration of this deadline, or your claims may be lost- regardless of their merit.
___
- If you have been injured in an auto accident in Hawaii, you first need to obtain and fill out a No Fault
(Personal Injury Protection) benefits application form from the insurance company for the car in which you were riding (or the car that impacted you if you were a pedestrian or a bicyclist). No Fault (PIP) usually provides medical coverage for injuries arising out of the use, maintenance or operation of a motor vehicle in Hawaii and it may also provide various other coverages (wage loss, substitute services, etc.)
___
- In Hawaii at present you generally must have at least a certain amount in medical expenses- $5,000 (1/1/98 on) [$13,900 (9/1/95 to 12/31/97); $11,000 (9/1/94 to 8/31/95) ; $10,000 (9/1/92 to 8/31/94), etc.]-
before you can recover for pain, suffering, mental anguish, loss of enjoyment of life, wage loss in excess of that paid by No Fault and various other losses caused by a motor vehicle accident. However, there are also a few other situations in which recovery for these additional losses may be possible. These situations include (1) accidents arising out of conduct for which punitive damages could be awarded, (2) accidents resulting in death, (3) accidents causing permanent loss of use of a part or function of the body, (4) accidents giving rise to permanent serious disfigurement, (5) accidents in which the No Fault benefits are exhausted and a few other situations.
___
- Our office charges on a CONTINGENCY FEE basis in accident cases which we accept. There is NO CHARGE for an initial consultation to evaluate your case. E-mail us or call us at (808) 524-5300 or (808) 528-2525 if you have any more questions.
___
- If you believe that you may have a claim of this type, please take a few moments to visit with a paralegal to outline the nature of your claim. Thank you!

Hawaii Personal Injury and Accident Law News and Cases
Friday, Aug 22, 2005- The settlement for an out-of-state husband and wife involved in a head on collision on Maui successfully resolved earlier this month with the assistance of William H. Lawson, Accident Lawyer Hawaii. The total recovery was over half a million dollars. The case turned on the documentation of an out-of-state insurer's sales practices which conflicted with the insurance company's policy provisions.
Accident Lawyer Hawaii has two new websites providing information on safety recalls. The first 88,000 pages of information on car recalls and other motor vehicle safety recalls during the past 4 decades is found at Car Safety Recalls - Vehicle Safety Recalls.
In addition, recently an additional 8,000+ pages of information on consumer product recalls and other dangerous product safety recalls has been made available at Dangerous Products - Product Safety Recalls.
