Don't Wait Too Long  To File a Personal Injury Claim

Under Hawaiian law, most personal injury claims have a two-year statute of limitations for the date they occurred. The sooner you contact our Hilo law office after your accident, the more time you have on your side. 

Personal injury cases can arise from a variety of situations...

Dog Bites

Injured leg from dog bite

Hawaii law holds dog owners liable for any injuries or property damage caused by the dog.

Many dog bites are unintentional, and a case of the dog being scared or territorial. In some cases, owners are accused of siccing their dog on people, like a Honolulu man did in April 2022

Whether it's an accident or purposefully done, personal injury lawyer Robert Marx takes dog bites seriously. He will use his knowledge of personal injury law to get you compensation to cover medical bills and emotional trauma.

Defective Products

If a product does not perform as intended, has design flaws, or does not have the proper warning labels, the manufacturers and promoters of the product can be liable for negligence. As your personal injury lawyer, Mr. Marx can hold the creators and distributors of the defective product responsible for your injuries.

Work-Related Injuries

If you are injured on the job, you have to file a workers' compensation claim. In some instances, workers may have to file a third-party claim if they were injured by someone who is not a co-worker.

For example, if a worker is driving to a job site and is rear-ended during the trip, that worker can file a third-party claim.

If you were injured on the job, injury lawyer Robert Marx can help you get workers' compensation to cover any potential loss of income. He can also assist in personal injury claims to help you seek damages for medical bills and the cost of rehabilitation.
