New Trial on Punitive Damages

Angela Flowers, of the Ocala office, obtained a new trial in a case where the jury awarded $1.25 million for punitive damages. The Fifth District Court of Appeals issued an opinion reversing the trial court’s decision and agreed with Angela, holding that the trial court abused its discretion by refusing to read a jury instruction about the award of punitive damages. The instruction that should have been read was that a jury may not award an amount of punitive damages that would financially destroy the defendant.
