In any personal injury case, plaintiffs may be eligible for various types of compensation, categorized into economic and non-economic damages.

Understanding Economic Damages

Economic damages are verifiable financial losses related to a personal injury or death, such as medical expenses, lost wages, and repair or replacement costs. These damages can significantly impact personal injury victims and their families. You may be unable to work and support your family's basic needs, and medical bills can become overwhelming. Consulting an experienced legal professional can help alleviate some of this stress. Let our Honolulu Personal Injury Attorneys at Potts & Potts assist you.

Honolulu Non-Economic Damages

In addition to economic damages, personal injury victims can seek compensation for pain and suffering, emotional distress, and loss of companionship. These non-economic damages are often subjective and do not require the same level of proof as economic damages. However, they can be more challenging to address than their monetary counterparts.

In a personal injury case, the plaintiff must first establish negligence to proceed. Doing this on your own can be challenging. If you have been injured due to someone else's negligence, seek the help of an experienced personal injury attorney, like those at Potts & Potts. Contact Potts & Potts today for assistance.

Some individuals endure life-long mental anguish, lifestyle changes, permanent disfigurement, or the destruction of relationships due to sudden and traumatic incidents. While an award or settlement cannot reverse the permanent emotional effects, it can help restore a sense of normalcy and provide for ongoing treatment to address any residual issues. Additionally, compensation can offer financial stability during a difficult time, allowing you to focus on recovery. It can also cover expenses related to therapy, rehabilitation, and other necessary support services. By seeking legal assistance, you can ensure that your rights are protected and that you receive the support needed to rebuild your life.

Hawai'i is touted as America’s little piece of paradise – a place that is more of a tourist destination than a home. However, nearly 1.5 million people call Hawai’i home, and face the same trials and hardships as those on the mainland.

The population of Honolulu, Hawai'i is in excess of 1 million people out of a total state population of 1.5 million. Out of this number, a percentage experience severe injuries stemming from accidents which occur without notice. Unfortunately, many victims of personal injury accidents are tourists visiting the state, who have to continue to deal with a personal injury claim even after returning to their home state. If you or a loved one have been injured in a personal injury accident, you may be entitled to receive compensation for your injuries.

If you have been injured in an accident, it is crucial to seek and retain competent representation as soon as possible. While Hawai'i has a two-year statute of limitations, hiring an attorney early on is advisable. Personal injury cases require a comprehensive analysis of medical bills, lost wages, physician's reports, and other documents to substantiate the plaintiff's claims. Engaging a lawyer promptly ensures that all necessary evidence is gathered and your case is thoroughly prepared.

What You Need To Know

Hawai’i operates under a modified comparative negligence system. This means that a victim's compensation may be limited based on their degree of fault in the incident. For instance, if a car accident victim was speeding when the accident occurred, but the primary cause was an illegal left turn by another driver, a court might determine that the victim was 25 percent responsible. Consequently, the victim's damages would be reduced by 25 percent.

It is crucial for a personal injury plaintiff to understand that in Hawai’i, if a victim is found to be more than 50 percent at fault, they cannot claim any damages. Therefore, before initiating a lawsuit, it's essential to comprehend how liability is determined in Hawai’i. Let Potts & Potts guide you through the complexities of comparative negligence law.
