Additionally, if you are the victim of an intentional act, punitive damages may be awarded.  Punitive damages are damages awarded in order to punish the defendant and to deter the defendant and others from committing the same conduct in the future. Punitive damages are generally only allowed when it is proven by clear and convincing evidence that the defendant was guilty of oppression, fraud or malice and acted with conscious disregard of the rights or safety of others.
