Description
This review poses the principal question of whether, in a products liability case, the matter may proceed to trial on the question of punitive damages after compensatory damages have been settled and the claims for those damages dismissed. We conclude, under the facts of this case, that the trial for punitive damages was appropriate despite the prior settlement of the compensatory damages. The defendants claim that the amendment of the complaint to assert punitive damages came too late to avoid the bar of the statute of limitations. We conclude that the limitations did not operate to bar the claim because the newly asserted remedy, punitive damages, related back to the original cause of action arising out of the injuries sustained on July 3, 1972. The newly asserted claim for punitive damages was . . . connected with the subject of the action upon which the original pleading based. Sec. 269.44, Stats. 1973.
