Hawaii Statutes of Limitation

Wrongful Death:

Statute of Limitations:

Two Years. Haw. Rev. Stat. § 657-7.

Does discovery rule apply?

The courts have never ruled specifically as to wrongful death actions, but a strong argument can be made that the discovery rule would apply since it unquestionably applies to personal injury actions (see below) and personal injury actions and wrongful death actions share the same statute.

Who has the right to bring suit?

Heirs or personal representative. Haw. Rev. Stat. § 663-3.

Personal Injury:

Statute of Limitations:

Two Years. Haw. Rev. Stat. § 657-7.

Does discovery rule apply?

Yes. Guillermo v. Hartford Life & Acc. Ins. Co., 986 F.Supp. 1334, (D.Hawai‘i,1997.)
