2021 Illinois Compiled Statutes|Chapter 735 - CIVIL PROCEDURE|735 ILCS 5/ - Code of Civil Procedure.|Article II - Civil Practice

(This Section was added by P.A. 89-7, which has been held unconstitutional)Sec. 2-1115.05.         Limitations on recovery of punitive damages  in cases other than healing art or legal malpractice cases.(a) In all cases on account of bodily injury, or physical damage to  property based on negligence, or product liability based on any theory or  doctrine, other than those cases described in Section 2-1115, punitive damages  may  be awarded only if actual damages are awarded.  The amount of punitive damages that may be awarded for a claim in any civil  action subject to this Section shall not exceed 3 times the amount awarded to  the claimant for the economic damages on which such claim is based.(b) To recover punitive damages in cases described in subsection (a), a  plaintiff must show by clear and  convincing evidence that the defendant's conduct was with evil motive or with a  reckless  and outrageous indifference to a highly unreasonable risk of harm and with a  conscious indifference to the rights and safety of  others.  "Clear and convincing evidence" means that measure or degree of proof that  will produce in the mind of the trier of fact a high degree of certainty as to  the truth of the allegations sought to be established.  This evidence requires  a greater degree of persuasion than is necessary to meet the preponderance of  the evidence standard.(c) In any action including a claim for punitive  damages, a defendant  may request that the issues relating to punitive damages be  tried separately from the other issues in the action.  If such a request is  made, the trier of fact shall first hear evidence relevant to, and  render a verdict upon, the defendant's  liability for compensatory damages and the amount thereof.  If the trier of  fact makes an award of actual damages, the same trier of fact shall  immediately hear any additional evidence relevant to, and render a verdict  upon, the defendant's liability for punitive damages  and the amount thereof.  If no award of actual damages is made, the claim  for punitive damages shall be dismissed.  If the defendant  requests a separate proceeding concerning liability for punitive  damages pursuant to this Section, and the proceeding is held, evidence  relevant only to the claim of  punitive damages shall be inadmissible in  any proceeding to determine whether compensatory damages are to be awarded.(d) The limitations of subsection (a) shall not apply in a case in  which a plaintiff seeks damages against an individual on account of death,  bodily injury, or physical damage  to property  based on any theory or  doctrine due to an incident or occurrence for which the  individual has been charged and convicted of a criminal  act for which a period of incarceration is or may be a part of the sentence.(e) Nothing in this Section shall be construed to create a right  to recover punitive damages.(f) This amendatory Act of 1995 applies to causes of action accruing  on or after its effective date.

There shall be no recovery for hedonic damages.(b) Beginning in 1997, every January 20, the liability limit established  in subsection (a) shall automatically be increased or decreased, as applicable,  by a percentage equal to the percentage change in the consumer price index-u  during the preceding 12-month calendar year.
