Types of Maui Wildfire Claims

Maui’s wildfires have brought all forms of devastation. That devastation may give rise to the following several forms of legal claims for those most affected by the wildfires. 

Maui Wildfire Wrongful Death Claims

The wildfires have caused dozens of wrongful deaths. Surviving family members may have a right to recover financially in negligence or other tort claims for their loss of the decedent’s love, society, companionship, and support. Those recoveries will not bring back the lost but may relieve the worst financial hardships.

Maui Wildfire Personal Injury Claims

The wildfires have also caused many personal injuries, including severe burns, smoke inhalation, broken limbs, heart attacks, and mental and emotional distress. The persons injured may have a right to recover financially in negligence or other tort claims for all of those losses. And the injured person’s spouse may have a right to recover for the loss of the injured person’s love and services.

Maui Wildfire Property Damage Claims

The wildfires have also caused vast loss of residential and commercial real property and personal property, including cars, trucks, boats, equipment, clothing, and other personal effects. Whether the owners of that property have fire or other insurance coverage or not, the owners may have greater rights of recovery in negligence or other tort claims for the value of the destroyed property.

Maui Wildfire Business Loss Claims

The wildfires have also caused substantial business losses, not just business property damage but also business interruption losses. Every day a business owner can’t operate costs the business owner lost profits. Business owners may have a right of recovery in negligence or other tort claims for those business interruption losses.

Who Might Be Liable for Maui Wildfire Loss

Evidence is mounting that electric utilities may have played a role in starting the wildfires. Those utilities may include Hawaiian Electric Industries, Hawaiian Electric Company, and Maui Electric Company. Local governments, including the County of Maui, may have also played a role in the vast loss, through failed emergency notice, failed evacuation, failed fire prevention, and other ways. Negligence, gross negligence, and governmental liability claims may provide rights of recovery for all claimants.
