Recent Personal Injury and Car Accident News and Cases related to Hawaii
Savini v. University of Hawaii 113 Hawaii 459 (3/19/07), a recent decision of the Hawaii Supreme Court, has helped to clarify Hawaii law on auto accident claims against the State of Hawaii. That case addressed the conflict between (1) the general two year (from date of occurrence) deadline for filing claims against the State and (2) the general auto accident deadline of two years from the date of the accident or the date of the last payment of no fault (PIP) benefits, whichever is later. The Hawaii Supreme Court held that because auto claims against the State are typically not actionable until the threshold of $5,000.00 in medical expenses has been met, in the typical case an action can be filed against the State for two years after the date on which the threshold is met.
