injuries depends upon the way in which the claim arose. You
may wish to examine the links on the left to see if one of the
types of accidents described there (car accidents, fall accidents,
drunk driver accidents, boating/ocean/maritime accidents, etc.)
is similar to your accident. It should be noted that there are
some very short deadlines- for example, claims
against the City and County of Honolulu and
the various other Counties must be filed with the appropriate agency
within six (6) months of the date of the accident.
For some claims the deadline is two (2) years or more.
You must file your claims in
court prior to the expiration of such deadlines, or your
claims may be lost—regardless of their merit.
To be wise it is recommended that you immediately contact an attorney
after an accident giving rise to broken bone injuries occurs- please do not
