Hawaii law does not set a maximum contingency fee for medical malpractice cases, but fees must be reasonable. This is general information and not legal advice.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the time limit to file a medical malpractice lawsuit in Hawaii?
In Hawaii, you generally have two years from the date of the injury to file a medical malpractice claim. There is also a statute of repose that bars any claim filed more than six years after the alleged negligent act, regardless of when the injury was discovered.
Do I need to go through a medical malpractice screening panel in Hawaii?
Yes, Hawaii law requires that most medical malpractice claims be reviewed by a medical inquiry and conciliation panel before a lawsuit can be filed. This panel reviews the evidence and issues a non-binding opinion on whether malpractice occurred.
What damages can I recover in a medical malpractice case in Hawaii?
Hawaii allows recovery for economic damages like medical bills and lost wages, as well as non-economic damages for pain and suffering. However, non-economic damages are capped at $375,000 per claim, adjusted for inflation.
