State Tort Liability Act under HRS chapter 662 governs claims against the State; county claims fall outside chapter 662 and proceed under HRS § 46-72 with a 2-year written-notice requirement (when, where, how, extent, and amount). Discovery rule recognized broadly
Comparative fault
Modified comparative under HRS § 663-31 in the "greater than" form. Recovery is barred where plaintiff fault is "greater than the negligence of the person, or in the case of more than one person, the aggregate negligence of such persons against whom recovery is sought." Damages reduced in proportion to plaintiff fault. Joint and several liability abolished under HRS § 663-10.9 with carve-outs for economic damages, noneconomic damages against tortfeasors whose individual fault is 25% or more, intentional torts, and certain environmental and motor-vehicle categories
Distinctive
Hawaii is one of only ~12 no-fault auto-insurance jurisdictions. HRS § 431:10C-306 abolishes tort liability unless (a) PIP-incurred medical benefits equal or exceed $5,000 or (b) the injury causes death, significant permanent loss of bodily function, or permanent and serious disfigurement. PIP minimum benefit $10,000 under HRS § 431:10C-103.5. Auto liability minimums increased to 40/80/20 effective 1/1/2026 under HRS § 431:10C-301 (prior 20/40/10 applies to pre-2026 policies); UM/UIM offer-mandatory but rejectable in writing. Med-mal noneconomic cap $375,000 under HRS § 663-8.7. NO statutory cap on general PI noneconomic damages. Punitive damages have no statutory cap; clear-and-convincing standard under Masaki v. General Motors Corp., 71 Haw. 1, 780 P.2d 566 (1989) requires "wanton, oppressive, or malicious" conduct. Pickard v. City and County of Honolulu, 51 Haw. 134, 452 P.2d 445 (1969) abolished invitee/licensee/trespasser distinctions in favor of unitary reasonable-care duty (alongside CA Rowland v. Christian, 1968). Hybrid dog-bite framework: HRS § 663-9 removes the scienter element from negligence (Hubbell v. Iseke, 7 Haw. App. 633 (1986); not true strict liability), but § 663-9(b) imposes absolute liability for animals known by species or nature to be dangerous, wild, or vicious. Hotel/innkeeper duty under Knodle v. Waikiki Gateway Hotel supports affirmative duties to protect against foreseeable third-party criminal acts
Market
Hawaii recorded 102 traffic fatalities in 2024 (HIDOT preliminary), up 10% from 93 in 2023, with approximately 960 major crashes (up ~16% YoY). Pedestrian fatalities reached 37 (+61% YoY); 13 of those killed were homeless individuals. Hawaii consistently ranks among the highest pedestrian-fatality rates in the nation. Speeding was the primary contributing factor in 24 fatal crashes; suspected impairment and reckless behaviors appeared in 11. Island distribution: Honolulu (Oahu) 51, Hawaii Island 29 (near-doubling from 15 in 2023), Maui County 14, Kauai County 8. Top counties (2024): Honolulu (Oahu, ~1,001,146, 69.1% of state population), Hawaii (Big Island, ~205,769, 14.5%), Maui (Maui + Lanai + Molokai, ~164,522, 11.3%), Kauai (~73,731, 5.1%), Kalawao (~67, <0.1%). Major commercial corridors: I-H-1 (Lunalilo / Queen Liliuokalani Freeway, Oahu south-shore artery, Hawaii's most congested freeway, with HDOT's H-1 Eastbound Improvement Project running January 2024 through November 2027), I-H-2 (Pearl City to Wahiawa, Schofield/Mililani commute corridor), I-H-3 (Halawa to Kaneohe via Tetsuo Harano Tunnels connecting leeward and windward sides), Kalanianaole Highway (HI-72) Honolulu southeast Oahu coast, Kamehameha Highway (HI-83/99/80) Oahu primary non-freeway arterial, Hana Highway (HI-360 / HI-36) Maui (64 miles, 617 turns, 59 bridges, routinely listed among the most dangerous tourist roads in the world due to hairpin turns and flash floods), Hawaii Belt Road (HI-19 and HI-11) Big Island circumferential connecting Hilo, Kona, Waimea, and Volcano. Dominant insurers: GEICO ~26%, State Farm ~19% (combined ~45%); First Insurance Company of Hawaii (Honolulu, founded 1911, the largest property-and-casualty insurer in Hawaii), Island Insurance Company / Island Premier Insurance, DTRIC Insurance Company (all Hawaii-domiciled). Notable 2024 outcome: $91M Manious v. R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Co. plaintiff verdict (Kailua-Kona, the largest reported Hawaii state-court PI jury verdict of 2024). Hawaii's verdict environment is shaped by an urban Honolulu jury pool that tends toward moderate compensatory awards in routine MVA cases; minor-injury crashes typically resolve within the no-fault PIP system because they fail the § 431:10C-306 tort threshold. Hotel and resort negligent-security and slip-and-fall (Waikiki, Maui resort corridor) and Honolulu construction-site injuries drive the largest reported verdicts

Why Hawaii Premises & PI Files Reward Specialized Pre-Screening

Hawaii is a 1.43-million-resident archipelago where tourism volume drives a defining premises-liability docket. Pickard v. City and County of Honolulu, 51 Haw. 134 (1969) abolished the invitee/licensee/trespasser distinctions and adopted unitary reasonable-care duty (Hawaii joined California Rowland (1968) as among the earliest in the country). Hotel/innkeeper duty under Knodle v. Waikiki Gateway Hotel supports affirmative third-party-criminal protection duties on Waikiki and resort properties. The HRS § 431:10C-306 no-fault tort threshold filters minor-injury auto cases out of the tort lane (auto-only; non-MVA torts proceed in standard tort). NO statutory cap on general PI noneconomic damages. Punitive damages have no statutory cap (Masaki clear-and-convincing standard). Hawaii consistently ranks among the highest pedestrian-fatality rates in the nation; 37 pedestrian deaths in 2024 (+61% YoY).

Hana Highway (HI-360) Maui: 64 miles, 617 turns, 59 bridges, routinely among most dangerous tourist roads in the world. Hawaii Belt Road (HI-19/11) Big Island. Tourist MVA and pedestrian files generate concentrated catastrophic-injury outcomes; rental-car co-defendant analysis at intake.

2-year SOL from date of death under HRS § 663-3(b). NO statutory cap on general PI noneconomic. Punitive damages possible under Masaki v. GM, 71 Haw. 1 (1989) clear-and-convincing standard. Hawaii ranks among highest pedestrian fatality rates in nation; pedestrian-WD files steady volume.

Motorcycle

Avg case value: $25K to $200K+

Higher injury severity than standard MVA. Hawaii's mountainous Big Island and Maui terrain produces concentrated mountain-pass and rural-shoulder motorcycle fatalities. § 663-31 51%-bar fault rule applies to rider conduct allocation.

Rideshare (Uber / Lyft)

Avg case value: $20K to $150K+

TNC platform $1M coverage in Period 2 and 3, driver personal coverage in Period 1, third-party policies. Honolulu and Maui carry steady rideshare volume. UM/UIM offer-mandatory under HRS § 431:10C-301(d) but rejectable in writing.

Construction Industrial Workplace

Avg case value: $75K to $1M+

Honolulu's construction tempo (residential, hotel/resort, transit) drives a steady third-party negligence docket outside the workers' compensation exclusive remedy. Tower-crane, scaffolding, equipment-defect, and electrical-contact files generate concentrated multi-million outcomes. § 431:10C-306 tort threshold does not apply to non-MVA torts.

Pedestrian & Bicyclist

Avg case value: $50K to $500K+

Hawaii consistently ranks among highest pedestrian fatality rates in the nation; 37 pedestrian deaths in 2024 (+61% YoY); 13 of those killed were homeless individuals. Honolulu (urban) and Big Island (rural shoulder) drive concentrated volume. Pickard unitary premises duty supports upper-tier outcomes when pedestrian and premises theories overlap.

We focus on cases firms actually want to buy. Med-mal leads can be added on request, but they are not part of our headline coverage given the HRS § 663-8.7 $375,000 noneconomic cap and the 6-year statute of repose under § 657-7.3.

Real Outcomes

Notable Hawaii Personal Injury Verdicts and Settlements

Selected HI premises, tourism, MVA, and catastrophic-injury outcomes. Hawaii's urban Honolulu jury pool tends toward moderate compensatory awards; high-severity cases that clear the no-fault threshold (auto only) and product-liability/premises matters drive the largest reported verdicts. Past results do not guarantee future outcomes.

$91M

Product / Catastrophic

Manious v. R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Co.

$91 million plaintiff verdict (Kailua-Kona, 2024), the largest reported Hawaii state-court personal-injury jury verdict of 2024 (TopVerdict.com). Demonstrates upper end of Hawaii jury appetite when product-liability conduct supports clear-and-convincing punitives under Masaki v. GM. The HRS § 431:10C-306 threshold operates only in motor-vehicle cases; non-MVA torts proceed in standard tort lane.

Threshold-aware pre-screening: fatal and serious tourist crashes typically clear § 431:10C-306.

6 to 7 figures

Pedestrian / Bicyclist

Honolulu Pedestrian / Cyclist Outcomes

Hawaii consistently ranks among the highest pedestrian-fatality rates in the nation; 37 pedestrian deaths in 2024 (+61% YoY).

Substantial economic damages flow through uncapped.

6 to 7 figures

Construction / Workplace

Construction Industrial-Injury Outcomes

Honolulu's construction tempo drives a steady third-party negligence docket outside workers' comp exclusive remedy. Tower-crane, scaffolding, equipment-defect, and electrical-contact files generate concentrated multi-million outcomes. Non-MVA torts proceed in standard tort lane (no threshold).

Lead Economics

Lead Pricing Across Hawaii Practice Areas

We use our expertise managing Google Ads to get radically better prices than firms running campaigns themselves, and we pass the savings on to you. Our leads are often priced near the cost of just a few Google Ads clicks at standard rates, far below what a DIY Honolulu campaign would spend to convert a single qualified lead.

Industry Standard

What most providers sell:

  • Shared leads, sold to 3 to 5 firms at once
  • Fixed per-lead markup with margin baked in
  • Generic, low-effort intake screening
  • Monthly minimums and long-term contracts
  • Setup fees on day one
Our Approach

What you get with us:

  • Exclusive: one firm per lead, never shared

The Bottom Line

Forget the benchmarks.
Our Hawaii leads typically deliver world-class ROI.

ExclusiveTransparent PricingPre-ScreenedReal-Time Delivery

Most firms pay less per signed case with us. Per-lead industry averages assume the lead is shared 3 to 5 ways. Ours never are. Hawaii's Pickard unitary premises duty, the Knodle hotel/innkeeper duty, the no-fault threshold-aware auto screening, and the absence of a general PI noneconomic cap compound the value of pre-screened exclusive leads here.

Real Hawaii pricing depends on your counties / islands and case-type mix. We can quote it via call, email, or text. No sales call required. No contracts, no minimums, no setup fees.
