How Hawaii law treats burn-injury claims

Shared fault

Hawaii applies modified comparative fault with a 51% bar. At an exact 50/50 split the injured person still recovers, with damages reduced by half.

Haw. Rev. Stat. § 663-31(a)

Damage caps

Hawaii caps pain-and-suffering damages at $375,000, but the cap does not apply to products-liability claims, toxic and environmental torts, or most motor-vehicle claims. The statutory term is narrower than non-economic damages generally.

Haw. Rev. Stat. §§ 663-8.7, 663-10.9
