Hawaii also follows the No Fault law. Under this law regardless of
the fault your personal injury protection insurer is liable to pay for your damages. This law does not include motorcycle owners. This is compulsory coverage in Hawaii insurance packages. The statute of limitation in Hawaii is for two years i.e. you can file a claim for compensation for the damages caused within two years of the date of the accident.
Though in some cases the time period can be extended.
You should provide the lawyer with all the details and the documents that he wants. It helps lawyers present a case better if all the plaintiffs paperwork is complete. This includes proof of filing a police report immediately after the accident, and of seeking immediate medical care to assess injuries. A good lawyer will be able to assess a case upfront and inform a potential client of the likelihood of winning, and the legal costs involved.
The lawyer will help you in dealing with your insurance agent. He will direct you on how to deal with the arguments that the insurance agent comes up with. Most of the times the insurance agent does not give the full compensation. They convince the victim to settle for a lesser amount. Your lawyer will help you out in such situations.
