Compensation for Damages 

Hawaii law permits an individual who has been injured by a product that is defective or unreasonably dangerous to obtain compensation from the product’s manufacturer, distributors, and potentially others. In order to succeed in a defective product case, the injured person must be able to prove that the product was defective and that the defect caused the injury.

Types of Product Defects

• Design defects: These are defects that exist in the design of the product, which means that all products of the same design are potentially dangerous.

• Manufacturing defects: These are defects that occur during the manufacturing process and affect only a portion of the products produced.

• Warning defects: These are defects that relate to the product’s instructions or warnings, which may not adequately alert users to potential dangers.
