Haw. Civil Jury Instr. 8.6
LOSS OF CONSORTIUM
If you find that defendant(s) is/are liable, you may allow
plaintiff _______ a fair and reasonable compensation for the
loss and impairment of _______’s ability to perform services as
wife/husband, because of her/his injuries.
In determining the amount of such compensation, you are to
consider the loss and impairment of her/his companionship, aid,
assistance, comfort and society, and services to her husband/his
wife in performing her/his domestic and household functions, if
any.
The services provided by a wife/husband to her husband/his
wife may often be of such character that no one can say what
they are worth. The relationship between spouses is a special
and unique one, and the actual facts of the case, considered
together with your own experience, must guide you in deciding
what amount would fairly and justly compensate the husband/wife
for his/her loss.
