Losing a loved one is incredibly difficult, and when that loss is due to someone else’s negligence or wrongful actions in Hawaii, the pain is compounded by the legal complexities that follow. Navigating the legal system during such a time can feel overwhelming, which is why seeking the guidance of a skilled Hawaii wrongful death attorney is crucial.
Understanding Wrongful Death in Hawaii
Hawaii’s wrongful death laws allow surviving family members to seek compensation for the loss of their loved one. This compensation isn’t just about financial losses; it can also include pain and suffering, loss of companionship, and loss of future earnings. A successful wrongful death claim requires proving negligence or wrongdoing on the part of another individual or entity. This can be challenging, and having an experienced attorney on your side is essential. 
Who Can File a Wrongful Death Claim?
The individuals eligible to file a wrongful death claim in Hawaii vary depending on the specific circumstances. Typically, surviving spouses, children, and parents can file.
