In Hawaii, fault in a car accident is determined by examining evidence such as police reports, witness statements, and traffic laws. Hawaii follows a no-fault insurance system, meaning each driver’s insurance covers their own injuries regardless of fault. However, determining fault is crucial for property damage claims and serious injury cases. Insurance adjusters and, if necessary, the courts will analyze the circumstances, including road conditions, driver behavior, and any violations of traffic laws, to establish liability. It’s advisable to consult with a local attorney experienced in Hawaii’s traffic laws to navigate the complexities of fault determination effectively.
