Haw. Civil Jury Instr. 6.3
ALLOCATION OF NEGLIGENCE
You must determine whether any of the parties in this case
were negligent and whether such negligence on the part of a
party was a legal cause of plaintiff’s(s’) injuries/damages. If
you find that at least one defendant was negligent and such
negligence was a legal cause of the injuries/damages, you must
determine the total amount of plaintiff’s(s’) damages, without
regard to whether plaintiff’s(s’) own negligence was also a
legal cause of the injuries/damages.
If you find that more than one party was negligent and the
negligence of each was a legal cause of the injuries/damages,
then you must determine the degree to which each party’s
negligence contributed to the injuries/damages, expressed in
percentages. The percentages allocated to the parties must
total 100%.
