Punitive damages sometimes play a role in catastrophic injury cases. Punitive damages are levied when the at-fault party’s actions are deemed to have been either intentionally harmful or extremely reckless and can include malice or fraud. Punitive damages are intended to punish the at-fault party – rather than as compensation for your damages. Punitive damages are in addition to compensatory damages, and they are based on the egregiousness of the at-fault party’s actions.
