PUNITIVE DAMAGES
- Pursuant to Florida Statutes, including 768.72, the DEFENDANTS should be held liable for punitive damages as they are personally guilty of intentional misconduct or gross negligence. The DEFENDANTS had actual knowledge of the wrongfulness of the conduct and the high probability that injury or damage to the claimant would result and, despite that knowledge, intentionally pursued that course of conduct, resulting in injury or damage. The conduct was so reckless or wanting in care that it constituted a conscious disregard or indifference to the rights of persons exposed to such conduct. CLAYTON & MCCULLOH and SENTRY actively and knowingly participated in such conduct or the officers, directors, or managers of CLAYTON & MCCULLOH and SENTRY knowingly condoned, ratified, or consented to such intentional misconduct that constituted gross negligence and that contributed to the loss, damages, or injury. The officers, directors, or managers of the employer, principal, corporation, or other legal entity knowingly condoned, ratified, or consented to such conduct. DBPR knowingly condoned, ratified, or consented to such intentional misconduct or engaged in conduct that constituted gross negligence and that contributed to the loss, damages, or injury. The officers, directors, or managers of the employer, principal, corporation, or other legal entity knowingly condoned, ratified, or consented to such conduct.
