Billie Tackett and Truman Tackett v. State

WALSH, Justice: This is an appeal from the Superior Court following a jury verdict in favor of the plaintiffs-below, appellants, Billie Tackett (""Mrs. Tackett"") and Truman Tackett, her husband (the ""Tacketts""). The Tacketts based their claim on allegations of bad faith in the delayed payment of underinsured motorist coverage under a policy issued by the appellee, State Farm Mutual Fire and Casualty Insurance Company (""State Farm""). The Tacketts claim error in the Superior Court's directed verdict on their claim for intentional infliction of emotional distress and in its refusal to submit to the jury their claim for punitive damages. State Farm has cross-appealed from a pretrial ruling which required State Farm to disclose certain documents in the face of State Farm's assertion of attorney-client privilege and work product.
