Are punitive damages available in a Kentucky wrongful death case?

In a Kentucky wrongful death case, you can obtain punitive damages if you can prove by clear, convincing evidence that the defendant acted with gross negligence. Normally punitive damages are not available where it's simple negligence or a mistake or some type of inadvertent act.
