HRS §523A-16
How to sue to prove your claim
If you are unhappy with the administrator's decision, or if your claim has not been decided within 120 days after you filed it, you can sue in circuit court to prove your claim. You must name the administrator as the defendant. If you win, the court may order the administrator to pay your attorney's fees.

A person, excluding another state, aggrieved by a decision of the administrator or whose claim has not been acted upon within one hundred twenty days after its filing may maintain an original action to establish the claim in the circuit court, naming the administrator as a defendant. If the aggrieved person establishes the claim in an action against the administrator, the court may award the claimant reasonable attorney's fees.
