Since the inception of the theory of extra contractual liability, Colombia has strived to attain a system that fairly compensates the victims of illegal damage while keeping compensation \nproportional and equitable for all parties. The United States, by contrast, has developed a doctrine on damages that looks to reestablish the plaintiff’s rights while issuing civil punishment \nto the offending party. This paper aims to make an approximation between two systems, giving special importance to new jurisprudence that points to the eventual recognition of punitive \ndamages in Colombia and outlining the legal discrepancies that prevent punitive damages from becoming a reality in this \nSouth American country
