  Shin v. McLaughlin
Shin claimed that McLaughlin left Hawai`i in May 1990, that his prior counsel lost track of McLaughlin's whereabouts, that McLaughlin was now residing in Europe, that McLaughlin's insurance company had been put on notice of the claims as early as January 10, 1990, and that negotiations with the insurance company were at a standstill.
McLaughlin, on the other hand, claims that "[t]here is no Hawai`i case law or statutory authority which applies the tolling provisions in HRS § 657-18 to motor vehicle torts." Hence, McLaughlin contends that no genuine issue of material fact exists as to whether Shin filed his complaint within the limitations period.
In the instant case, the record is clear that McLaughlin was a resident of Hawai`i before the accrual of the cause of action and left the state shortly thereafter.

McLaughlin had been a leading production bike racer since the late 1960s aboard Honda CB750s, when he was backed by his father’s dealership, so he was well versed in the details of production racing.
