01 · Your filing deadline
What is the deadline in Hawaii?
Hawaii Revised Statutes § 657-7 sets a 2-year personal injury limitations period. Hawaii courts have applied the discovery rule to product liability claims involving latent injuries, meaning the PowerPort SOL does not begin until the patient discovers the catheter fracture. A lawyer can confirm yours.

Deadlines vary; a lawyer can confirm yours. An older diagnosis or a past filing window does not, by itself, establish whether you have a claim.
02 · Where cases are heard
Where would my case be heard?
Hawaii's geographic isolation means oncology patients — and PowerPort recipients — are concentrated at Queen's Medical Center and the University of Hawaii Cancer Center. Cases file in D. Hawaii and transfer to MDL 3081 in D. Arizona.
