Punitive damages are not limited to triple compensatory damages if a case can be made that the amount is not excessive, the Fourth District Court of Appeal ruled Wednesday in a smoker’s appeal.
The court rejected Broward Circuit Judge Jeffrey Streitfeld’s justification for cutting a $25 million punitive damages award to $15.7 million based on a $5.24 million compensatory damage award to Connie Buonomo of Hollywood, the widow of Matthew Buonomo.
