Punitive damages are separate from economic and non-economic damages. While those two damage types are meant to compensate the plaintiff for losses, punitive damages are used to penalize the conduct of the defendant(s). Punitive damages are rarely approved by courts, but when it is, the defendant has usually been accused of egregious negligence or criminal wrongdoing. Your case might not include punitive damages due to the rare circumstances in which they are available; however, the skilled attorneys at The Law Office of Joshua W. Branch will be able to explain whether these are available for your case or not.
