And while these awards are not uncommon, the keyword here is sometimes, since what constitutes emotional distress from a legal standpoint may be at odds with what the average person considers to be emotional distress. Emotional distress in Hawaii is an independent tort claim that arises when a defendant causes distress to the plaintiff, and that emotional distress manifests in a physical injury. They sometimes see this claim in medical malpractice lawsuits.
