Injured on Kauaʻi? We know the roads, the courts, and the local realities, and we put that knowledge to work for you.
Losing a loved one because of someone else's negligence is one of the most difficult experiences a family can endure. While no legal claim can undo that loss, a wrongful death action can provide accountability, financial security, and a measure of justice for surviving family members. Mattoch & Kirley handles these cases with compassion and respect, guiding families through the legal process while aggressively pursuing the compensation they deserve.
Kauaʻi families may face devastating losses caused by motor vehicle collisions, medical negligence, dangerous property conditions, workplace accidents, drowning incidents, and other preventable tragedies. When a death is caused by another person's or entity's negligence, Hawaii law may allow surviving family members to pursue a wrongful death claim. Wrongful death cases arising on Kauaʻi are generally heard in the Fifth Circuit Court in Līhuʻe.
Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome. Each case is unique and is evaluated on its own facts.
Most wrongful death cases begin with an insurance claim, not a lawsuit. Depending on the circumstances, the claim may be made against the insurance company for a negligent driver, property owner, business, employer, healthcare provider, or another responsible party whose conduct caused the death. If the insurance company denies liability or refuses to offer fair compensation, filing a lawsuit may become necessary. Wrongful death lawsuits arising on Kauaʻi are generally filed in the Fifth Circuit Court in Līhuʻe. Mattoch & Kirley handles the entire process, from investigating the circumstances of your loved one's death and negotiating with insurance companies to filing suit and representing your family in court when a fair resolution cannot be reached. We work to pursue accountability, justice, and financial security for surviving family members during a difficult time.
Hawaii law allows certain surviving family members and the personal representative of the estate to bring a claim. We can explain who is eligible in your situation.
Damages may include loss of financial support, loss of companionship and guidance, funeral and medical expenses, and the family's suffering, depending on the case.
Yes. Most wrongful death work is handled remotely, and we travel to Kauaʻi to meet seriously injured clients in person. The absence of a local office does not limit your representation.
