484 723 FEDERAL SUPPLEMENT, 2d SERIES Dr. Ramos testified at trial that as a result of the Lod Airport Attack and its effects on Pablo, Antonia has struggled with depression and anxiety. (Trial Transcript, Dec. 3, 2009, p. 112, ln. 3–8) Dr. Ramos diagnosed Antonia with a Depressive Anxious Disorder and gave her a Global Assessment Functioning Scale score of 50 (Id., at ln. 10–11), which indicates ‘‘serious symptoms and serious impairment.’’ (Id., at ln. 24–25) Dr. Ramos stated that Antonia was ‘‘very fragile, not only physically but emotionally.’’ (Trial Transcript, Dec. 3, 2009, p. 127, ln. 1–2) [9] As an American citizen, Antonia has a direct cause of action under section 1605A. Antonia is therefore entitled to the following awards for each of the following claims enumerated in plaintiffs’ Complaint: 1. first claim for relief (for damages under 28 U.S.C. § 1605A(c)); namely, that defendants provided material support and resources which caused and facilitated the Lod Airport Attack; 2. fourth claim for relief; namely, that defendants’ behavior (a) was intended to and did in fact terrorize Antonia and cause her severe emotional distress, (b) was willful, outrageous, egregious, and dangerous to human life, and violated applicable criminal law, all international standards of civilized human conduct and common decency, and (c) was outrageous in the extreme, wanton, willful and malicious, and constituted a threat to the public at large, warranting an award of punitive damages; and 3. fifth claim for relief; namely, that defendants’ conduct as specified here was outrageous in the extreme, wanton, willful and malicious, and constituted a threat to the public at large, and therefore Antonia is entitled to an award of punitive damages against defendants; Angel. (Trial Transcript, Dec. 3, 2009, pp. The analysis detailed above regarding awards to direct terror victims and relatives of victims applies to Antonia as well. Antonia has been harmed on many levels by the Lod Airport Attack. She has lost the benefit of a strong and loving husband, suffers the trauma of the JRA’s injuring of her husband, and endures the daily disruption to her family life and her relationship with her husband. After the Lod Airport Attack she has had to attend daily to Pablo’s deteriorating state of mind, and she herself has become permanently depressed and disabled. Her family life and marriage will never be the same and are forever impacted by Pablo’s and her ongoing disabilities. Accordingly, Antonia is awarded $10,000,000 as compensatory damages. Defendants are jointly and severally liable for the full amount of Antonia’s compensatory damages. Punitive Damages In numerous previous civil terrorism cases tried under FSIA, federal courts have awarded punitive damages in order to punish defendants, and as a means of deterring future terrorist acts. Typically, courts have imposed punitive damage of three times of a state sponsor’s annual budget for the export of terrorism. Acosta v.
