The Maui wildfire victims landed a $4 billion settlement regarding the August 2023 fires, the governor’s office announced Friday.
Seven defendants, including the state of Hawaii, County of Maui, Hawaiian Electric, Kamehameha Schools, West Maui Land Co., Hawaiian Telcom and Spectrum/Charter Communications, will compensate all those who filed claims, and the settlement resolves over 450 lawsuits, according to a press release from Democratic Hawaii Gov.
