Step-by-Step Guide
What Should You Do After an Accident in Waipahu?
- 1
Call 911 and Report the Accident
In Hawaii, you are legally required to report accidents involving injury, death, or significant property damage. Call 911 from the scene in Waipahu and request both police and medical assistance.
- 2
Seek Immediate Medical Attention
Go to a hospital or urgent care — even if you feel fine. Many injuries like whiplash, concussions, and internal bleeding don't show symptoms immediately. Seek treatment at the nearest emergency facility.
- 3
Document Everything at the Scene
Take photos and videos of all vehicles, injuries, road conditions, traffic signals, and skid marks. Get names, phone numbers, and insurance information from all parties and witnesses.
- 4
Do Not Speak to Insurance Adjusters Without an Attorney
Insurance companies will contact you quickly — often within 24 hours. Their goal is to get a recorded statement they can use against you and to offer a lowball settlement before you understand your claim's true value.
- 5
Contact a Personal Injury Attorney Immediately
Hawaii's statute of limitations is 2 years (Haw. Rev. Stat. § 657-7). However, critical evidence — surveillance footage, witness memories, vehicle data — degrades rapidly. The sooner you call Bond Legal at (866) 423-7724, the stronger your case.
- 6
Keep All Medical Records and Bills
Every doctor visit, prescription, therapy session, and medical bill becomes evidence of your damages. Keep a daily journal documenting your pain levels, limitations, and emotional impact.
Hawaii Law
How Does Hawaii Personal Injury Law Work?
Modified Comparative Fault (51% Bar)
Source: Haw. Rev. Stat. § 663-31
Hawaii uses modified comparative negligence — you can recover only if your fault does not exceed 50%. Your recovery is reduced by your percentage of fault.
Statute of Limitations: 2 years
Source: Haw. Rev. Stat. § 657-7
In Hawaii, you generally have 2 years from the date of your injury to file a personal injury lawsuit. Missing this deadline typically bars you from recovering any compensation. There are limited exceptions for minors, discovery of latent injuries, and government claims — consult an attorney immediately.
Damage Caps
Non-economic damages capped in medical malpractice cases only. No general cap on PI damages.
Key Hawaii Laws Affecting Your Case
Modified Comparative Fault (51% Bar)
Haw. Rev. Stat. § 663-31
Hawaii follows modified comparative negligence. Your recovery is reduced by your percentage of fault, and if you are 51% or more at fault, you recover nothing.
2-Year Statute of Limitations
Haw. Rev. Stat. § 657-7
Hawaii has a 2-year statute of limitations for personal injury and wrongful death claims, running from the date of injury or death.
No-Fault Auto Insurance (PIP)
Haw. Rev. Stat. § 431:10C-103
Hawaii is a no-fault auto insurance state requiring Personal Injury Protection (PIP) covering $10,000 in medical expenses per person. To sue for pain and suffering, you must meet the serious injury threshold — medical expenses exceeding PIP limits or permanent injury.
Mandatory UM/UIM Coverage
Haw. Rev. Stat. § 431:10C-301
Hawaii is one of few states requiring uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage. Minimum UM/UIM limits match liability limits.
DUI / OVUII Law
Haw. Rev. Stat. § 291E-61
Hawaii uses the term OVUII (Operating a Vehicle Under the Influence of an Intoxicant). BAC limit is .08 for adults, .02 for those under 21. Implied consent applies — refusal results in automatic license revocation.
