Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Punitive damages are awarded in addition to compensatory or expectancy damages in order to punish the wrongdoer for their actions. They are intended to deter future similar behavior from the defendant and to send a message to others that such behavior will not be tolerated. Punitive damages are not available in all cases and must be awarded by the court based on the facts and circumstances of each case.
