More details to this question:
Looking for Experienced Attorney to file a claim against the State of Florida- ACHA regarding Wrongful Death/Punitive Damages awarded to Plaintiff. The Plaintiff mandated to pay 50% of Punitive Damages 7 years later when nothing was brought up till then. Jurors didn't even know about awarded punitive damages go to improve the quality of care in nursing homes. Nursing Home was found Guilty on all counts of Wrongful Death in 2012. Why should any Wrongful Death's victims family have to pay for their deadly mistakes and fined. No Customer, Constituent, Tax Payer, United States Citizens, Florida Citizen,Consumer should have to be responsible for Civil Money Penalty Projects where nursing homes can apply for Grants to improve their nursing homes quality of care. Its unheard of. The Freedom of Information Act showing no receipt of improving patients medical conditions. Such as extra classes, better hydration and pressure sore classes, etc. The Statute says of becoming a law. Thank You!!

Generally, punitive damages are considered to a imposed on behalf of society in general and hence the view that a portion goes to the state. As puntive damage are NOT designed to compensate for damages caused, the views such awards as largely a windfall for victims, who in theory get the full value of thier compensatory damages. This is more of a political issue than a litigation issue.
