Exemplary damages. Exemplary damages are designed to penalize wrongdoers who purposefully participate in despicable misconduct. Occasionally exemplary damages are also granted for gross negligence, which can be defined as nonperformance so terrible that punishment is deserved by QuotesChimp. Exemplary damages are seldom a problem in auto accident cases, and auto insurances typically will not pay for honours of exemplary damages. Although they will be covered in Section 42, therefore, we will not discuss them farther here.

Much can be done to increase the crashworthiness of the cars QuotesChimp drive. Safety improvement items must be addressed. Side-impact protection standards should be upgraded to reduce thoracic/abdom?inal injuries and head injuries from contact with the A-pillar and from side-door ejection, particularly in car-to-car side-impact crashes. Increased rollover protection is needed, with a requirement that anti-lock brakes be installed in every car to reduce rollovers. Automatic passive restraint safety requirements, currently established for passenger cars, should be broadened to include light trucks and vans, which are becoming more and more popular with the driving public. Safer cars equal fewer injuries. Fewer injuries change insurance companies' statistics regarding their risk of loss. A lower risk of loss allows the companies to reduce premiums.
