Carla Denise Garrison v. Target Corporation

Summary

The Supreme Court of South Carolina held that the jury could reasonably find Target had constructive notice of a dangerous syringe, that the statutory cap on punitive damages is not an affirmative defense, that the trial court must consider potential harm when reviewing the constitutionality of punitive damages, and that interest under Rule 68 applies to punitive damages; the case was affirmed in part, reversed in part, and remanded for further proceedings.
