Hawaii Supreme Court Upholds Maui Wildfire Attorney Fee Caps
The Hawaii Supreme Court has upheld caps on attorney fees in litigation arising from the deadly Maui wildfires. The ruling affects lawyers seeking compensation from settlements tied to the disaster, which devastated Lahaina in 2023 and killed more than 100 people. The decision limits how much attorneys can collect from settlement funds, with implications for victims' recovery and ongoing legal proceedings.
Why now: The ruling affects how much money wildfire victims and their lawyers can recover from one of the deadliest US fires in modern history.
