Yes, but this is difficult. Generally for punitive damages, the other party must have done something so terrible and done it intentionally. Although negligence may allow punitive damages, the actor must have acted with such disregard for the consequences that it is almost like they could have cared less. This type of action may be seen in a DUI accident case. In this type of lawsuit, the driver knew he was putting you at risk, but didn’t really care. These actions MAY open the driver up to punitive damages. For more on McDonough Car Accidents and Jackson Car Accidents see these pages.
