Fault & Liability in Car Accidents in HI

In Hawaii, being partly at fault reduces your crash recovery dollar for dollar and bars it entirely once your share tops 50%. Here's how the rule works and where the lines fall.

Hawaii is a no-fault car insurance state. Your own PIP pays first no matter who caused the crash, and you can sue the at-fault driver for pain and suffering only after you cross a $5,000 or serious-injury threshold.
