(dissenting).

I respectfully dissent from the denial of certiorari review. I would remand with instructions to have to the trial court assess the amounts of compensatory damages and punitive damages. See Union Security Life Ins. Co. v. Crocker, 709 So.2d 1118, 1126 (Ala. 1997) (See, J., dissenting).
