Hawaii Accident & Personal Injury Attorney William H. Lawson
Law Firm Overview
If you or someone you love has been seriously injured, William H. Lawson, Attorney at Law, will help you get your life back together again. Our office concentrates on handling serious personal injury claims - claims for damages arising from the wrongful conduct of others. We provide free consultations to evaluate critical injury and wrongful death cases. Almost all cases are handled on a contingency fee, so 'No recovery: No fee'. This means that usually if we agree to handle your case on a contingency fee, there is 'No fee unless we win'. Personal injury claims are claims for damages arising from the wrongful conduct of others. Such claims often include claims for tangible losses such as past medical expense, past lost wages, a loss of future income, future medical expenses, vocational rehabilitation expenses, maintenance and cure, substitute services and the like. Such claims also often include claims for intangible losses such as pain and suffering, emotional distress, physical limitations arising from the injuries, loss of enjoyment of life, loss of love and affection, and the like. Every type of claim has a deadline for filing the claim in court. These differ from state to state. One such type of deadline is the 'Statute of Limitations'. After the expiration of this time period, a personal injury claim will almost always be lost, regardless of its merits. There are a few possible exceptions to the running of the deadlines (such as minority, incompetence, etc.), so it may still be worth evaluating a claim even after the applicable deadline appears to have expired. Please note however that because of these deadlines, you should act promptly after an accident on any claims which you wish to pursue. As a personal injury attorney in the state of Hawaii, Mr. Lawson has worked with both local attorneys and mainland law firms as co-counsel. Mr. Lawson has worked side-by-side with other firms and also in a supervisory capacity using his many years of experience to guide the client to the appropriate resources. We participate in arbitration, mediation and litigation - each at its proper time. Accident Lawyer Hawaii provides or assists in obtaining legal services in each area of need for a particular case. Over the years Mr. Lawson has provided the individual communications and responsive contact for Hawaii clients that assure the client of personal attention while their case is being handled by high quality attorneys on the mainland in certain complex and difficult 'mass tort' cases.
