Fifth District says punitive damages are recoverable in legal malpractice suit involving $785K jury verdict


Moore
The Fifth District Appellate Court held that punitive damages are recoverable in legal malpractice cases, concluding that in such circumstances the punitive damages are “compensatory in nature.”

Moore delivered the April 28 opinion with justices Mark Boie and John Barberis concurring.  ....
