b'To shield certain entities from liability and accountability for the 2023 Maui wildre that killed 102 people and destroyed more than 2,200 structures, Hawaii Governor Josh Green set up a $4 billion settlement plan. Insurance companies that had already paid out billions were seeking subrogation claims to recoup some of their pay-outs. If the loses had been caused by a hurricane, earthquake or some other natural disaster, there is no liability and no subrogation claims. But in this case, there was negligence and thus liability. Hawaii courts were able to deny subrogation to the insurance companies, the rst time in US history this has occurred.Greens $4 billion settlement plan moved forward and Maui Judge Peter Cahill made it clear that he wants checks distributed to survivors before the end of the year, but that didnt happen.61'
