How We Can Help
When you come to Davis Levin Livingston, we can help you with all aspects of your case, from the initial investigation to the final negotiations and trial.
Our Waipahu personal injury attorneys can help you recover compensation for:
- Motor vehicle accidents: Vehicles are the leading cause of accidental death in the United States, with more than 30,000 fatalities each year. Motor vehicle accidents can result in catastrophic injuries, such as traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord damage, and permanent disabilities.
- Truck accidents: Large trucks can cause devastating injuries when they collide with smaller vehicles. In many cases, victims are unable to see truck traffic due to blind spots.
- Premises liability: Property owners have a duty to keep their premises safe for their guests and visitors. If you are injured due to a dangerous condition on someone else's property, you may be eligible for compensation.
- Catastrophic injuries: Serious injuries can lead to severe, permanent disabilities. If you are unable to work due to your injuries, you may be eligible for Social Security disability benefits.
- Wrongful death: If a loved one passed away in a tragic accident caused by negligence, you can file a wrongful death claim against the at-fault party. This type of lawsuit is similar to filing a personal injury on behalf of your deceased family member.
Hawaii Personal Injury Laws
Hawaii's personal injury laws govern the legal rights and remedies available to individuals who have been injured due to the negligent or intentional actions of another party.
Hawaii follows a comparative negligence rule. This means that if you contribute to your own injuries in any way, your compensation may be reduced proportionally. For example, if you are found to be 20% at fault for the accident, your total damages award will be reduced by 20%.
Various types of damages may be available to the injured party. These can include economic damages (such as medical expenses, lost wages, and property damage) and non-economic damages (such as pain and suffering, emotional distress, and loss of enjoyment of life).
Generally, the statute of limitations is two years from the date of the injury. It's imperative to file a claim within this timeframe, as failing to do so may result in the loss of your right to seek compensation.
