Lawnwood Medical Center, Inc. v. Sadow

(1) Whether punitive damages for intentional harm are exempt from the Court's guidepost analysis to determine whether an award of punitive damages is unconstitutionally excessive; (2) whether state law can exempt punitive awards for certain conduct from the guidepost analysis mandated by the Constitution; and (3) whether a court may rely on the defendant's wealth - rather than awards in similar cases or comparable legislative penalties - as an objective indicator of the constitutionality of a punitive award when actual damages are small or nominal.
