  2. Nobody should ever have to worry about getting hurt due to the careless or negligent actions of a healthcare professional. Unfortunately, medical mistakes happen all the time. If you ever need a Hawaii medical malpractice attorney, you can count on the team at Kurzban, Kurzban, Tetzeli and Pratt, P.A. to be by your side. they are going to step in to secure the compensation you deserve. Today, they want to discuss some of the statutes of limitations on these cases, particularly when minors are involved.

  3. The exceptions for minors Hawaii, like most other states, treat medical malpractice cases of minors differently. If the victim of medical malpractice was under 10 years old when the mistake occurred, they have six years or until their tenth birthday to file a lawsuit (whichever is later). If the victim is older than 10 but younger than 18 when the mistake occurred, they have six years from the date of the injury to file a claim.

  4. ● For example, if a 17-year-old is the victim of a medical mistake, they can file a lawsuit up until they are 23-years-old (6 years after the incident). If a minor’s injuries could not be reasonably discovered, the statute of limitations for a claim tolled (delayed) until the injuries are discoverable.

  5. Medical mistakes are common in the US. Johns Hopkins researchers say that they kill as many as 250,000 people each year and injure millions more. Some of the most common mistakes include: ● Medication errors ● Healthcare-acquired infections ● Surgical errors ● Misdiagnosis ● Failure to treat ● Missed diagnosis
