Description

66.700 Punitive Liability In tort actions, there may be aggravating circumstances that may warrant the awarding or imposing of additional damages called punitive damages. Before you may award (impose) punitive damages, the plaintiff must prove that the defendant's actions showed willful misconduct, malice, fraud, wantonness, oppression, or that entire want of care that would raise the presumption of conscious indifference to consequences. The plaintiff must prove that the defendant is liable for punitive damages by a higher standard than that for proof of other damages; that is, by clear and convincing evidence.
