I always find punitive damages a fascinating difference between the US and Canada (where we don't have them). It probably reduces the effectiveness of lawsuits as deterrents in some cases, but on the other hand I think we have a lot less frivolous law suits (why would you sue McDonald's for spilling coffee on yourself when the best you could possibly get is the cost of a new skirt and a little bit for pain and suffering?).
