01 · Your filing deadline
What is the deadline in Hawaii?
Hawaii applies a 2-year statute of limitations for personal injury claims under HRS § 657-7. The discovery rule applies to toxic exposure claims, beginning when the plaintiff knew or should have known of the causal link between glyphosate use and their diagnosis. 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 has been a major testing ground for glyphosate-resistant crops, with Monsanto, Dow, and Syngenta operating large seed corn and experimental crop operations on Maui, Molokai, Oahu, and Kauai. Hawaii County passed a ban on GMO crop cultivation (later overturned), reflecting community concerns about pesticide exposure. Hawaii applies a 2-year statute of limitations with the discovery rule.
