32 personal injury attorneys practise in Honolulu, which holds most of the state's injury bar. Cases are filed in the First Circuit Court, with federal matters in the District of Hawaii.
Hawaii runs a no-fault motor vehicle system: your own policy pays initial medical costs, and a claim for pain and suffering against the other driver requires the injury to pass a statutory threshold. The state also applies modified comparative negligence, barring recovery for a claimant found more than half at fault.
Visitor injuries — hotel, tour operator, ocean activity and rental vehicle claims — are a routine part of local practice. If you were hurt while visiting, ask how the firm handles claims for clients who have since returned home.
