How Hawaii law treats scald burns

Statutory research reviewed 2026-08-14. Not legal advice.

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

Directory coverage for Hawaii is expanding

We don’t have listings here yet — coverage grows state by state rather than all at once. Burn and fire cases are routinely handled across state lines, so attorneys listed elsewhere in the region may still be able to help.
