Specific Laws and Regulations regarding Lawsuit Funding in Hawaii
Lawsuit Funding Regulations with Tribeca Lawsuit Loans
Tribeca Lawsuit Loans offers funding from $500 up to $2,500,000 per case in Hawaii, based on the case value.
Legal Parameters for Lawsuit Funding
Hawaii operates under the Modified Comparative Fault 51% Bar. This means plaintiffs can recover damages as long as their fault is not greater than the combined defendants’ fault, subtracting their own fault proportionally. However, if a plaintiff’s fault exceeds 50%, they cannot receive any damages (Haw. Rev. Stat. § 663-31).
The statute of limitations for filing a personal injury claim in Hawaii is 2 years (Rev. Stat. Sec. 657.7). This applies to claims against individuals, city, county, or state government agencies. Failure to file within this period may void your right to compensation.
Restrictions and Special Laws for Lawsuit Funding
Companies cannot fund workers’ compensation cases in Hawaii. Also, if you have previously applied for funding elsewhere, a lien must be filed and paid off before Tribeca Lawsuit Loans can provide support.
Hawaii has a cap on non-economic damages (like pain and suffering) in medical malpractice lawsuits. The maximum compensation is $375,000, with some exceptions for cases involving mental anguish.
Dog owners in Hawaii are strictly liable for injuries caused by their pets, regardless of previous behavior, as per Haw. Rev. Stat. § § 663-9.
How Pre-settlement Funding Works
The process of obtaining pre-settlement funding or a lawsuit loan in Hawaii begins with the plaintiff, the individual or entity who is suing another party, known as the defendant.
For instance, the plaintiff could be a Honolulu resident who has filed a personal injury lawsuit after a car accident. The plaintiff often finds themselves in a situation of pressing financial need, such as being unable to work due to the accident and needing funds for living expenses and medical bills.
The plaintiff initiates the application process with a trusted funding company, detailing their case merits, the lawsuit type – which could be personal injury, workers’ compensation, or a civil rights case, among others – and their legal representation.
In our example, the Honolulu resident would disclose information about the car accident, including the other driver’s fault and the extent of their injuries.
The quality of their attorney or law firm, such as an experienced personal injury lawyer in Honolulu, can often influence the decision of the funding company.
Once the application is submitted, it triggers the approval process. The funding company carries out a risk assessment, evaluating the strength of the case, the potential settlement amount, and the likelihood of a successful outcome.
For example, in Hawaii, if the injured party is less than 50% at fault, they are eligible for damages, impacting the lawsuit’s strength.
Upon approving the application, the funding company determines the loan amount; the sum of money the plaintiff can borrow against their potential settlement. This decision is influenced by several factors, including the case merit and the potential settlement amount.
For instance, if the accident resulted in substantial medical expenses and loss of income, the potential settlement, and therefore the loan amount, could be significant.
The approved funding is a non-recourse loan, meaning if the plaintiff loses their case, they are not required to repay the borrowed amount.
This feature of lawsuit loans introduces considerable risk to the funding company, further underlining the importance of a detailed case review. For example, if our Honolulu resident did not win their case, they wouldn’t have to repay the loan.
Terms of the funding, such as the interest rate and repayment terms, are then negotiated. The interest rate denotes the rate at which the loan accrues cost over time. Fees, such as origination or processing fees, may also apply, contributing to the total repayment amount.
In our example, these terms would be explained to the Honolulu plaintiff before they accept the loan.
Once all terms are agreed upon, the funding company advances the loan to the plaintiff. The funding speed – how quickly the funds are disbursed – can often be crucial for the plaintiff.
For example, if our plaintiff’s landlord is threatening eviction due to unpaid rent, fast disbursement of the lawsuit loan can help avoid this.
The process doesn’t end here. Once the lawsuit is resolved, and if it results in a settlement, the plaintiff must adhere to the repayment terms, returning the principal loan amount, interest, and any associated fees.
In our case, if the Honolulu resident won their lawsuit and received their settlement, they would then repay the settlement loan from the cash advance.
In conclusion, obtaining a lawsuit loan is a multifaceted process. It involves the plaintiff, their case, the funding company, their attorney, and many moving parts, including the application and approval processes, risk assessment, and eventual repayment. It serves as a financial bridge for those in need, like our Honolulu resident, while they await the resolution of their legal battles. At Tribeca, we strive to make this process as simple as possible.

Are Lawsuit Loans Legal in Hawaii?
Yes. Lawsuit loans are legal in Hawaii and are endorsed by state courts. Tribeca offers lawsuit funding in this state.
Lawsuit lending is mostly unregulated in Hawaii, allowing many different companies to provide legal funding to clients in need. However, there are some nationwide regulations that you and your attorney will need to follow. For example, it is against the American Bar Association (ABA) for your attorney to provide you with funding for your non-legal expenses.
Despite the lack of regulation in Hawaii specifically, Tribeca Lawsuit Loans is dedicated to providing our funding in a safe and secure manner. We also provide lawsuit loans to clients in a host of other states, some of which have much more stringent laws about legal funding.
This means we are familiar with the best practices available to keep you safe. Some of the ways our funding protects you include:
- You do not pay us back at all if you lose your lawsuit.
- We only take repayment as an agreed-upon portion of your compensation package.
- We do not seize any other property as collateral, such as your home or business.
- We charge only simple interest rather than compound interest, saving you money in the long run.
What Determines How Much Funding You Receive?
There are many factors that influence how much money we can provide you with. However, since the repayment comes directly out of your compensation package associated with your lawsuit rather than your bank account, your personal finances are not part of the equation. That means:
- NO credit check
- NO invasive dive into your personal finances
- NO bank statements needed
Instead, our underwriting team will look at details of your case, such as how long it is expected to last and how much compensation you are likely to receive. Once we have evaluated these factors, we’ll let you know how much we can provide and we will sign a contract with you.
Tribeca Lawsuit Loans is able to provide Hawaiian claimants with anywhere from $500 to $1 million in legal funding. We can have the money in your bank account in as little as 24 hours after approval!

FAQs
Is there any significance to how I utilize the lawsuit financing?
There aren’t any specific guidelines on how you should use a pre-settlement monetary advance. Legal case funding serves to provide financial assistance during enduring lawsuits, and recipients in Hawaii have allocated this money for various purposes such as settling their debts, paying their rent, or managing day-to-day expenditure.
What is the civil lawsuit process typically like in Hawaii?
The civil lawsuit process in Hawaii generally involves these steps:
- The plaintiff files a complaint outlining the basis of the lawsuit.
- The defendant receives the complaint and has the opportunity to respond.
- Both parties gather evidence through a process called discovery.
- The case might go to trial if a settlement isn’t reached during mediation or negotiation.
- A judge or jury renders a verdict, which can be appealed by the losing party.
This process may take several months to years depending on the complexity of the case. Please consult with a legal professional for advice pertaining to specific cases.
