spinal cord injury (SCI),
catastrophic injury,
wrongful death,
broken bones and fractures,
burn injuries (fire or chemical),
ruptured discs aka herniated disks,
serious knee ACL, PCL, meniscus and other injuries,
damaged internal organs,
and other serious injuries. For links to
our webpages on each of these topics, please check the menu in the column
on the left side of this page under the heading "Types of Injury".
Two sister
sites to this site address many of the types of accidents which
can give rise to an injury claim. Since a number of considerations
(such as the deadline for filing a claim) typically depend
upon the type of accident involved, visiting these sites will
provide further information for most personal injury claims in Hawaii.
Motor vehicle accidents such as car, bus, truck, motorcycle, moped, auto and
pedestrian accidents and drunk driver accidents are handled on
the sister site-
Car Accident Attorney Hawaii.
Other types of accidents- such as
defective product liability claims, ocean and boating accidents and collisions,
including Jones Act cases and maritime law, construction site and heavy equipment accidents,
recreational accidents, elevator and escalator accidents, explosion accidents,
electrical accidents, bad faith insurance claims, medical & professional malpractice,
dog bites and animal attacks, and fall accidents (such as slip and fall and trip and fall accidents)-
are addressed on another sister site-
Accident Lawyer Hawaii- Attorney Wm Lawson.

Preventable serious injuries continue to be a problem in Hawaii
(as in the other 49 states). When commissioned by the State of Hawaii
to investigate the problem, the Hawaii
State Health Planning & Development Agency found the effects of injuries
to be extensive. In its study entitled:
Hawaii Health Performance Plan (H2P2)-
Optimum Health for Hawaii's People, this agency found that
"injuries kill more than 500 people,
hospitalize more than 7,000 and hurt more than
160,000 each year". See, the chapter of this
work entitled: Preventable
Injury and Violence in Hawaii.

If you are unfamiliar with personal injury claims, you may wish
to review our page:
What is a personal injury claim?
After an accident it is usually very important
(from the point of view of making a claim) to preserve
whatever evidence is available regarding the accident. This
usually involves keeping/saving/storing/preserving whatever evidence
it is possible to keep/save/store/preserve and photographing/videotaping
all evidence that may for some reason be perishable or subject to
change. It also involves locating and interviewing witnesses to the
accident and others who may be familiar with the conditions which
gave rise to the accident before memories fade or other reasons
intervene to prevent the collection of this information.

Inital Steps in Making Your Claim
Every
type of claim has a deadline for filing the claim in court.
These differ from state to state- the deadlines given on
this website are those applicable in the state of Hawaii-
since Injury Lawyer Hawaii is located in Hawaii.
This type of deadline is known as the Statute of Limitations.
After the expiration of this time period, the claim usually
will be lost- regardless of its merits. There are various
exceptions to the deadlines (minority, incompetency, etc.),
so it may still be worth evaluating a claim even after the
deadline has expired. Please note that because of
these deadlines, you must act promptly to contact
Injury Attorney Hawaii
on any claims
which you may wish to pursue.
Please note
that the Terms and Conditions of Use for this website and
