Statute of Limitations
Hawaii has a 2-year statute of limitations for personal injury claims from car accidents (HRS § 657-7). The clock starts on the date of the accident. Hawaii requires minimum liability insurance of 20/40/10 ($20K per person, $40K per accident bodily injury, $10K property damage) plus $10K in PIP coverage. The monetary threshold requires $5,000 in medical expenses to sue.
