01 · Your filing deadline
What is the deadline in Hawaii?
Hawaii civil SOL for sexual assault: 10 years from date of assault (H.R.S. § 657-1.8). Minority tolling applies. Hawaii enacted this extended SOL in 2012, making it one of the earlier states to provide extended protection for sexual assault survivors. 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 provides a 10-year civil statute of limitations for sexual assault claims. Honolulu and Maui are the primary rideshare markets, with high rideshare usage driven by the tourism industry. Hawaii does not require fingerprint-based background checks for rideshare drivers. The Hawaii Office of Victim Services provides compensation for counseling and medical costs.
