HRS §431:10-239

Insurance coverage after a breach before a loss

If you break a rule in your insurance contract before a loss happens, the insurance company cannot cancel your coverage or refuse to pay just because of that earlier breach. They can only deny your claim if the breach is still happening at the time of the loss.

The statute, as written — Intervening breach

If any breach of warranty or condition in any insurance contract occurs prior to a loss under the contract, the breach shall not avoid the contract nor avail the insurer to avoid liability, unless the breach exists at the time of loss.
