It should be noted, however, that there are exceptions to this rule- 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.
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 injuries occurs. If you wish to
do so now, please do not
hesitate to :
dangerous products - like washing machines, toasters, cooktops or
other electric appliances or any other electrical device- which can cause an
electrocution accident. Similarly, some tools and other electric
equipment used in the construction trade have been known to
cause electrical injury/ electrocution when used.
Evidence that a product failed to comply with UL or CPSC standards
and caused an electrical accident
may generally be used as evidence of negligence, but it is
usually not conclusive evidence of negligence under Hawaii law.
