Maui Judge's Ruling
In a significant development, a Maui judge has ruled in favor of wildfire victims, resolving a critical roadblock that had stalled the finalization of a massive $4 billion settlement.
The settlement is intended to compensate victims of the devastating 2018 wildfire that ravaged Hawaii's Big Island, destroying homes and businesses.

The $4 billion settlement will be distributed to victims who suffered property damage, business losses, and other expenses as a result of the wildfire.
The settlement is expected to be finalized in the coming weeks, providing closure and financial relief to those affected by the tragedy.
