How Hawaii Law Affects Your Slip and Fall Claim

Hawaii follows a modified comparative fault system with a 51% bar and has no statutory cap on non-economic damages in personal injury cases. The state's high cost of living and medical expenses often result in higher-than-average economic damages in personal injury settlements. Hawaii's tourism industry generates a significant number of premises liability and personal injury claims each year.

Under Hawaii's modified comparative fault (50% bar) system, your settlement may be affected if you share any responsibility for the accident. Your recovery will be reduced by your fault percentage, and you are barred from recovery if your fault reaches 50% or more.
