Haw. Civil Jury Instr. 3.4
BURDEN OF PROOF – RE DAMAGES WHERE FAULT ADMITTED1
In this case, defendant(s) has/have admitted fault for the
incident. The burden is still on plaintiff(s) to prove that
defendant’s(s’) conduct was a legal cause of injury to
plaintiff(s), and to prove the nature and extent of any injury
suffered.
Therefore, the only questions which you must decide are:
1. Was defendant’s(s’) conduct a legal cause of injury to
plaintiff(s)?
2. If so, what amount of damages, if any, is/are
plaintiff(s) entitled to as compensation for that
injury?
1 This instruction is intended for use in personal injury cases
only.
