California Punitives by Horvitz & Levy
  • Georgia jury awards $125 million in punitive damages

    AP reports on a verdict in federal district court in Georgia awarding $10.5 million in compensatory damages and $125.5 million in punitive damages to a Georgia couple who alleged that their land was polluted by a neighboring solar panel facility.  Given the disparity between the punitive damages and the compensatory damages, the punitive awards seems unlikely to survive posttrial and appellate review.
