I get the sarcasm, but no punitive damages were requested in the case - - trying to get them would actually be counterproductive, because, among other things, the wife's [driver's] liability policy wouldn't cover and pay for those kinds of damages.

 

To get a better understanding of what is really going on here, read this:

Here's the full Utah Court of Appeals decision (unanimous, BTW):

I haven't read the full opinion yet, so I don't know if it applies here, but sometimes the law is an ass:
