Under Hawaii law a property owner who hires an independent contractor to perform construction work does not automatically free themselves from any responsibility for injuries caused by that contractor. Under some circumstances a property owner may be held jointly responsible with an independent contractor for job site accidents and dangerous construction practices. See, eg., Makaneole v. Gampon 70 Haw. 501, 777 P.2d 1183 (1989) and "Makaneole v. Gampon: Site Owners Vicariously Liable for Negligence of Contractors and Their Employees". 12 UH L. Rev. 481.
