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 a 2-year SOL for personal injury with minority tolling. Hawaii's geographic isolation and limited youth mental health infrastructure make social media's impact on island communities particularly acute. Honolulu families should evaluate claims through MDL 3047.
