The Ceimo case concerned a disability policy. And it wasn't arthritis, it was a neck injury, which Ceimo claimed was partially the result of having to wear a lead smock during procedures. Ceimo claimed (and the jury agreed) that the insurance company had a deliberate policy of denying legitimate claims in order to cover earlier losses from bad business decisions, hence the punitive award.
