On what basis would punitive damages be awarded?
Damages would have to involve some sort of civil claim. All I can see there is trespass.
Does Colorado allow punitive damages for trespass claims?
According to this site, probably not.
And apparently under Colorado law there do have to be actual compensatory damages before you can have punitive damages.
I haven’t been able to track down anything better than the linked site but the info is line with other sites giving the same information about punitive damages in Colorado.
It must be fun being a lawyer in the US. So many states, so many different laws. Presumably most lawyers just pick a state and practice there and nowhere else?
