Haw. Civil Jury Instr. 3.5
BURDEN OF PROOF – RE DAMAGES WHERE FAULT ADJUDICATED
In this case, the issue of fault has already been decided
against defendant(s). 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?
