Recent Personal Injury and Car Accident News and Cases related to Hawaii
Congressional grants of tort immunity obtained by big business through political contributions and lobbying are finally hitting some limits. In 2005 the rental car industry managed to get immunity for harm caused by their vehicles, known as the "Graves Amendment", passed as an amendment snuck into a 900-page transportation appropriations bill without review from the relevant congressional committees. On September 14, 2007 the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida declared the Graves Amendment providing tort immunity to the rental car industry to be unconstitutional. The Court reasoned that federal grants of immunity for businesses traditionally regulated at the state level constitute an overreaching of Congress' power under the Commerce Clause. Vanguard Car Rental v. Huchon, Civ. Case No. 06-10082, (USDC So.Dist. Fl. 2007)

Deadlines to file Broken Bone Accident claims in Hawaii
The
deadline for filing a lawsuit in court in Hawaii to make claims for
 broken bone
injuries depends upon the way in which the claim arose. You
may wish to examine the links on the left to see if one of the
types of accidents described there (car accidents, fall accidents,
drunk driver accidents, boating/ocean/maritime accidents, etc.)
is similar to your accident. It should be noted that there are
some very short deadlines- for example, claims
against the City and County of Honolulu and
the various other Counties must be filed with the appropriate agency
within six (6) months of the date of the accident.
For some claims the deadline is two (2) years or more.
You must file your claims in
court prior to the expiration of such deadlines, or your
claims may be lost—regardless of their merit.
