WHY should you act promptly if you might have a personal injury claim?
Is it possible that you have one of these types of claims? If so, then it is important that you contact a Hawaii personal injury lawyer promptly. Nearly all Hawaii personal injury claims are subject to a statute of limitation. This means that an injured person or their family has only a specific, limited period of time after an accident occurs in which to file a lawsuit in court. If you delay, and do not take action to file a lawsuit in court to make claims for your loss within the statute of limitation, your claims will be forever barred. There are very few exceptions to the rule. Accordingly, if you think that you may have a personal injury or tort law claim, contact a local Hawaii personal injury lawyer promptly to help you bring your claims, or you may be prevented from bringing them in the future.
It is also important not to delay in contacting an attorney after you or a family member has been injured in an accident because if you wait too long to retain an attorney, it may affect the quality of evidence in your case. Oftentimes, key evidence from the accident scene, the instrumentality of injury, or the person's injuries are lost completely or diminished with the passage of time. While you still may be able to bring claims for your injuries as long as you are within the applicable statute of limitation, acting promptly after a motor vehicle or other accident occurs will help to ensure that key evidence is preserved for your claims.
