- Abstract
The article offers information on attorneys' fees, court costs, litigation costs and punitive damages. It states that a client will have to pay off a judgment for punitive damages because no liability policy covers a punitive damages award. The case of the Exxon Valdez which ran aground and deposited 11 million gallons of crude oil along 1,300 miles of Alaska shoreline in 1989 is cited to illustrate the discussion topics as well as an Oregon jury's award of punitive damages to a smoker's widow against Philip Morris.
