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.

researchers say that they kill as many as 250,000
