Hawaii Injury Lawsuit Misconceptions

The Law Offices of Michael Jay Green can help you determine the truth about the potential for Hawaii personal injury lawsuits.

Common misconceptions about a personal injury lawsuit in Hawaii

Some common misconceptions surrounding personal injury lawsuits in Hawaii include the following:

• I am guaranteed compensation. Hiring a Hawaii injury lawyer and filing a personal injury lawsuit does not automatically mean you will be compensated, or that the suit will result in a judgment in your favor. Personal injury cases are judged on their unique merits. Your Hawaii injury attorney should be honest with you regarding the chances of your lawsuit being successful.
• A personal injury lawsuit means a lengthy court battle.  Personal injury lawsuits do on occasion enter litigation, but many are settled before they ever see the inside of a courtroom. Settling a Hawaii personal injury law suit may be the preferable option for both parties.
• I must settle my personal injury lawsuit in Hawaii before I can receive medical treatment.  This is not the case. You are entitled to timely and appropriate medical treatment, and if you plan to file a Hawaii injury lawsuit with regard to your injury, you need not wait for this suit to end before you seek treatment for your injuries. In fact, you should seek treatment as soon as possible so that medical records can serve as evidence in your lawsuit.
• I do not need an attorney. While you are legally able to represent yourself, retaining and consulting an experienced Hawaii personal injury law firm is always preferable. Such an attorney can advise you regarding the compensation to which you may be entitled and ensure that your rights are protected.
