Gargano v. Heyman, 203 Conn. 616, 622, 525 A.2d 1343 (1987). “Punitive damages are awarded when the evidence shows a reckless indifference to the rights of others or an intentional and wanton violation of those rights.” Vandersluis v. Weil, 176 Conn. 353, 358, 407 A.2d 982 (1978). The “flavor of the basic requirement to justify an award of punitive damages is described in terms of wanton and malicious injury, evil motive and violence.” Venturi v. Savitt, Inc., 191 Conn. 588, 592, 468 A.2d 933 (1983).
