What is the deadline in Hawaii?

Hawaii has a 2-year statute of limitations for personal injury (HRS § 657-7). For minors, the statute is tolled until age 18. Hawaii's consumer protection laws (HRS Chapter 480) provide a 4-year window for unfair or deceptive acts. 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.
