How long does an injured party have to file a lawsuit after a broker violates the license law?

In Hawaii, the correct duration for an injured party to file a lawsuit after a broker violates license law is two years from the accrual of the cause of action. This timeframe is established under Hawaii Revised Statutes, which governs civil actions and specifies the limitations for various types of claims.

The accrual of the cause of action typically refers to the point in time when the injured party becomes aware of the violation or when the injury occurs. Therefore, this two-year period provides a clear and definitive window for individuals to seek legal recourse if they believe they have been harmed by the actions of a broker.

The other options may not reflect the statutory requirements accurately. For instance, a one-year timeline after the alleged violation may not align with the broader legal standards in Hawaii for similar claims. Likewise, three-year periods might apply to different types of cases or claims, but they do not specifically address the situation concerning violations of the license law by a broker. This makes the two-year period the appropriate and legally precise choice.
