What is the difference between compensation for personal injuries and punitive damages?

What will be an ideal response?


Personal injury damages pay for damages to a person's rights, such as a loss of reputation or release of confidential information. Punitive damages are awards made to plaintiffs as a means of punishing defendants for outrageously offensive acts. Punitive damages imply gross negligence or the total disregard for the plaintiff's safety.
