Docket entry

021201 Allstate Insurance Co. v. Wade 04/17/2003 The trial court did not err in refusing to allow plaintiff's uninsured motorist insurance carrier to inform the jury that a punitive damage award would not serve deterrent purposes because the insurer would be the source of payment, nor was it an abuse of discretion to refuse to bifurcate the jury's consideration of punitive and compensatory damages. The compensatory damage awards were not excessive, and the evidence supported the award of punitive damages against one defendant. The judgment is affirmed.
