Abolishing joint and several liability for government entities in highway-related civil actions in Hawaii.
This bill aims to abolish joint and several liability for government entities in claims and cases relating to the maintenance and design of highways, including actions involving guardrails, utility poles, street and directional signs, and any other highway-related device. Government entities would only be liable for the percentage share of the damages attributable to them. However, joint and several liability is retained for tort claims relating to the maintenance and design of highways.
