If you’ve been the victim of a car accident as a result of gross negligence or even malicious intent, you may be eligible to receive punitive damages. The intent of punitive damages is to punish or deter the defendant from future misconduct. Typically these damages are awarded at a court’s discretion.

When can punitive damages be awarded?
Often punitive damages will not be awarded during an ordinary personal injury case. To be eligible for punitive damages the offender must be engaging in behavior that they know or should know is reckless and dangerous. For example, heavily intoxicated drivers, drivers that know their vehicle poses a risk to others on the road, or drivers that engage in behavior that is obviously dangerous to themselves or others would all likely be reason to seek punitive damages.
