Inital Steps in Making Your Claim
After a fatal accident it is usually very important
(from the point of view of making a claim) to preserve
whatever evidence is available regarding the accident. This
usually involves documenting, saving, storing, and preserving whatever evidence
it is possible to document, save, store and preserve and photographing and videotaping
all evidence that may for some reason be perishable or subject to
change. It also involves locating and interviewing witnesses to the
accident and others who may be familiar with the conditions which
gave rise to the accident before memories fade or other reasons
intervene to prevent the collection of this information. For more information, please

More information and some related sites:
Two sister sites to this site address many of the types of accidents which
can give rise to an injury claim. Since a number of considerations
(such as the date for filing a claim) typically depend
upon the type of accident involved, visiting these sites will
provide further information for most personal injury claims in Hawaii.
Motor vehicle accidents such as car, bus, truck, motorcycle, moped, auto and
pedestrian accidents and drunk driver accidents are handled on
the sister site- Car Accident Attorney Hawaii.
Other types of accidents- such as explosions and fires,
defective product liability claims, ocean and boating accidents,
including Jones Act cases and maritime law, construction site and heavy equipment accidents,
recreational accidents, elevator and escalator accidents,
electrical accidents, bad faith insurance claims,
dog bites and animal attacks, and fall accidents (such as falls from elevation,
slip and fall and trip and fall accidents)-
are addressed on another sister site-
Accident Lawyer Hawaii - Law Office of William H. Lawson.
Please visit these sites at your convenience.
Deadlines:
Every
type of claim has a deadline for filing the claim in court.
These differ from state to state- the deadlines given on
this website are those applicable in the state of Hawaii-
since we are located in the state of Hawaii.
This type of deadline is known as the Statute of Limitations.
After the expiration of this time period, the claim usually
will be lost- regardless of its merits. There are various
exceptions to the deadlines (minority, incompetency, etc.),
so it may still be worth evaluating a claim even after the
deadline has expired. Please note that because of
these deadlines, you must act promptly to contact Wrongful Death Attorney Hawaii
on any claims
which you may wish to pursue.
