Punitive Damages: Punishment Of An Insured Defendant?, Carroway V. Johnson, Kenneth Lasson
All Faculty Scholarship
The plaintiff sued the defendant for injuries sustained in an automobile collision and was awarded a judgment in the amount of $5,000 actual damages and $1,500 punitive damages. The defendant's insurance company had refused to defend her in that action or to pay the judgment obtained, relying upon an employee exclusion clause in the policy. The plaintiff thereupon sued the defendant on the judgment, this time joining the insurer as a co-defendant, and won a verdict to recover against the insurer the aforesaid amount. The insurance company appealed, questioning its liability for punitive damages.

This article is not intended to constitute a comprehensive review of all evidence cases decided in Pennsylvania in the past ten years. The cases selected, of necessity, have been limited. They have been chosen because they affect either a field of special interest or one of special confusion. Cases dealing with applications of the parol evidence rule and with constitutional issues in criminal prosecutions have been omitted entirely because they are covered elsewhere in this Survey.
