HONOLULU, Sept. 5, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- The County of Maui and State of Hawai'i have been named for the first time as co-defendants and landowners liable for nuisance in a civil action filed by the father of a 57-year-old woman who was tragically and suddenly killed trying to escape the fires that devastated the community of Lahaina within the County of Maui on August 8th. The complaint filed yesterday in the Circuit Court of the Second Circuit of the State of Hawai'i additionally accuses utility Hawaiian Electric Company, Inc. and its subsidiary Maui Electric Company, Limited – as well as major landowner, Bishop Estate – of facilitating the fire that destroyed the residence of Rebecca Rans, causing her to flee, cutting off her escape paths and routes, and ultimately resulting in her wrongful death.

Key Points: 
  • Plaintiff Harold Dennis Wells filed the complaint individually and on behalf of all heirs of his daughter's estate.
  • "Rebecca Rans' death is all the more tragic because of how preventable it was," said James Bickerton, Founding Partner of Bickerton Law Group.
  • The combination of weather, uncontrolled vegetation and decaying and neglected electrical infrastructure predictably created a tinderbox ready to explode in Maui.
  • Their grief has been made worse by the lack of answers and accountability from County and State authorities.
