Punitive Damages
In addition to Compensation for a victim the
court may impose
Punitive Damages on the offender for the victim. These damages are imposed
in order to punish
the offender sufficiently enough to prevent the offender and other people
from committing the
act another time. Damages such as these are not always required but can
amount to millions of
dollars.
