(a) In determining the amount of exemplary damages, the trier of fact shall consider evidence, if any, relating to:
- (1) the nature of the wrong;
- (2) the character of the conduct involved;
- (3) the degree of culpability of the wrongdoer;
- (4) the situation and sensibilities of the parties concerned;
- (5) the extent to which such conduct offends a public sense of justice and propriety; and
- (6) the net worth of the defendant.
- (b) Evidence that is relevant only to the amount of exemplary damages that may be awarded is not admissible during the first phase of a bifurcated trial.
