01 · Your filing deadline
What is the deadline in Hawaii?
Hawaii's personal injury SOL is 2 years (HRS § 657-7). Injury claims arising from elder abuse generally follow the same period. Tort claims against the State must be brought within 2 years (HRS § 662-4), and claims against a county require written notice of the injury within 2 years (HRS § 46-72). 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 Kupuna Care program and elder protection statutes reflect the state's strong cultural commitment to honoring elders. Hawaii Revised Statutes § 346-222 provides civil remedies for elder abuse. Hawaii has approximately 50 nursing facilities, concentrated on Oahu, with high per-bed costs due to limited land and workforce.
