Describe a typical statute that caps punitive damages.
What will be an ideal response?
To illustrate, under Indiana's new laws, punitive damages are capped at the greater of $50,000 or three times the compensatory damages. New Jersey's cap is the greater of $350,000 or five times the compensatory damages, except for particularly abhorrent offenses such as drunk driving or child molestation. The American College of Trial Lawyers itself has recommended that the recovery of punitive damage awards be limited to the greater of twice the amount of compensatory damages or $250,000.
