Questions
What types of personal injury cases do you handle?
We handle all major personal injury cases including car accidents, defective products, maritime injuries, construction accidents, and wrongful death claims. Our attorneys specialize in complex cases requiring expert legal analysis.
How much does it cost to consult with an attorney?
We offer free initial consultations for all personal injury cases. There are no upfront fees - our services are provided on a contingency basis where payment comes from case settlements.
What is the deadline for filing an injury claim in Hawaii?
Most personal injury claims in Hawaii have a 2-year statute of limitations from the accident date. Maritime claims have 3 years under federal law. Timely consultation is crucial to preserve evidence.
How are attorney fees structured?
We work on contingency fees - typically 33-40% of recovery. This percentage is agreed upon in advance and only paid after successful case resolution. No recovery means no fee.
What should I do immediately after an accident?
Preserve evidence, seek medical attention, document injuries, and contact our office promptly. Avoid giving recorded statements to insurance companies before consulting with our attorneys.
