Damages come in two distinctly different types. First, damages can be used to compensate a person for their loss – these are called compensatory damages. Second, damages can also be used to punish and deter those individuals who have a complete disregard for the consequences of their actions. These damages are called punitive damages. Although rare, a court can award punitive damages when the responsible party’s actions are intentional or wantonness.
