He says the hotel failed to warn him of the beach's dangers after getting paralyzed there.
reported. The outlet says a wave hit him from behind and forced his head to hit the ocean sand, permanently paralyzing him. He argued that the hotel failed to warn him of the dangers of the shoreline and was therefore liable for his injuries.
KHON2 says the incident took place in August 2012, when he asked one of the hotel employees about a “good beach” for him and his family to visit. The employee gave them directions to Makena Beach State Park, or “Big Beach,” which is known for its beautiful white sands — and sometimesconditions for surfers and bodyboarders. As a result, there’s a permanent “Dangerous Shorebreak” sign warning beachgoers about “serious injuries,” the outlet says.
KHON2 reported that the circuit court ultimately ruled in favor of the resort, concluding that it “had no general duty to warn its guests of dangers well beyond” its property line. The outlet says that even if the resort had a duty to tell patrons about ocean dangers, “there can be no liability as a matter of law” since warnings were all over Big Beach regardless.
The outlet says that as of March 31, Hawaii’s Intermediate Court of Appeals upheld the dismissal of the case.
