What compensation can I recover after a boating accident in Hawaii?

Mynor Salazar | |

Boating accident victims may recover comprehensive compensation under maritime law, including:

  • Medical expenses covering emergency treatment, hospitalization, surgery, rehabilitation, and future medical care;
  • Lost wages and earning capacity for time missed from work and reduced future earnings;
  • Pain and suffering for physical and emotional trauma;
  • Property damage for personal belongings lost or damaged in the accident;
  • Permanent disability or disfigurement compensation;
  • Loss of life enjoyment for inability to participate in activities you previously enjoyed; and
  • Punitive damages in cases involving gross negligence or intentional misconduct.

Maritime law may also provide additional remedies not available in land-based accidents, such as maintenance and cure benefits for injured maritime workers. The amount depends on factors like injury severity, the degree of negligence, available insurance coverage, and the specific circumstances of your accident in Hawaiian waters.
