Case Highlight
We secured a confidential settlement in Hawai’i against the United States of America under the Federal Tort Claims Act. This case involved the tragic death of a 10-month-old due to substandard medical care at an army hospital. The medical staff failed to detect a grapefruit-sized tumor in the baby’s abdomen, leading to a devastating outcome.
Understanding Hawai’i’s Medical Malpractice Laws
Navigating Hawai’i’s medical malpractice laws can be complex. Here’s a brief overview of what you need to know:
Statute Of Limitations
In Hawai’i, you have two years to file a medical malpractice claim. It’s crucial to act quickly to ensure your case is heard.
Panel Review
Before bringing a case to court, it must be reviewed by a medical inquiry panel. This step helps determine the validity of the claim.
Physician Consultation
When filing a complaint, you must include a certificate signed by a physician, stating there is a valid cause for the malpractice claim. There are exceptions if the statute of limitations is pressing or if the physician refuses to consult. We can help you navigate these steps to ensure your claim is properly filed.
