Description
Plaintiffs-appellants Russell Sato (Sato) and Shelley I. Sato [hereinafter collectively, appellants) appeal from the judgment entered pursuant to special verdict following a jury trial. Briefly, the facts indicate that Sato was injured in an automobile accident when a car, driven by defendant-appellee Stephanie Tawata, collided into a Love's Bakery truck driven by Sato. At trial, Tawata was allowed to introduce, over appellants' objection, evidence of workers' compensation benefits Sato had received. On appeal, appellants contend that, because Hawai'i Revised Statutes (HRS) § 386-8 (1985) unambiguously prohibits the introduction of workers' compensation benefits in any action brought to recover damages, the court abused its discretion in allowing its admission.
