Does the award of punitive damages in a personal injury action constitute excessive?

[189 Cal.App.3d 75] We note that defendants have not appealed the award of punitive damages as excessive. Addressing this issue on our own, we conclude that in light of the entire record, the award of punitive damages is not so disproportionate as to shock the conscience or to indicate that it was the result of passion and prejudice.
