Common Questions

Car accident questions

Hawaii generally allows two years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury claim, though certain situations can extend that window. Because deadlines vary by circumstance, it is best to speak with an attorney early so evidence can be preserved.

Value depends on the severity of your injuries, your medical costs, lost income, the long-term impact on your life, and the available insurance coverage. We calculate the full picture rather than accepting an insurer's first number.

No. We work on a contingency fee, which means there are no fees unless we recover compensation for you. The initial consultation is free.

It is wise to speak with an attorney first, however property damage to you vehicle and personal items should be made through the insurance of the negligent party. Adjusters may seek recorded statements that can be used to reduce your claim. We handle that communication on your behalf.
