These coverages are required by Hawaii law and generally
should be available to help to compensate a person for loss as the result of
negligent operation of the vehicle. (Optional additional coverages may also be available.)
injuries arising out of a
truck, bus or other motor vehicle accident is generally
two years from the date of the accident.
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.
For some claims the deadline is extended by statute to two years from
the date of the last no fault, worker's compensation or
public assistance benefit payment related to the accident,
if such payments are made.
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- please do not
hesitate to :
suffering, mental anguish, loss of enjoyment of life, wage
loss in excess of that paid by No Fault (PIP) and various other
losses caused by a truck, bus or other motor vehicle accident. However, there
are also a few other situations in which recovery for these
additional losses may be possible. These situations include
(1) accidents arising out of conduct for which punitive
damages could be awarded, (2) accidents resulting in death,
(3) accidents causing permanent loss of use of a part or
function of the body, (4) accidents giving rise to permanent
serious disfigurement which causes mental suffering, and (5) accidents in which the No Fault (PIP)
benefits are exhausted and a few other situations.
