When a property owner's negligence causes a serious fall, we hold them accountable for the harm that follows.
A serious fall can cause fractures, head injuries, scarring, and permanent harm. Property owners in Hawaii, including hotels, resorts, and businesses, have a duty to keep their premises reasonably safe, and when they fail, they can be held responsible.
Mattoch & Kirley investigates the hazard, preserves the evidence before it disappears, and builds the premises liability case needed to pursue fair compensation.
Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome. Each case is unique and is evaluated on its own facts.

Generally, that a hazard existed, the owner knew or should have known about it, they failed to fix it or warn you, and that failure caused your injury. We build each element with evidence. Make sure you keep the footwear that you were wearing at the time of the fall. Place them in a bag to ensure that you do not wear them until after your case is settled and the matter resolved.
Not necessarily. Hawaii's comparative negligence rule may still allow recovery even if you share some responsibility. We can assess how it applies.
Hawaii generally allows two years from the date of the fall. Because hazards and surveillance footage disappear quickly, it is best to act fast.
