Plaintiff may recover punitive damages not to exceed three times compensatory damages, if such damages equal or exceed $100,000 or not to exceed $300,000 if such damages are less than $100,000. This cap on punitive damages does not apply to actions for defective product, bad faith actions against insurer and other various actions.
