Kent County Superior Court
DOVER, Del. (Legal Newsline) – The slate is wiped clean for a second Delaware trial after the first included the plaintiff’s lawyer crying and calling the defendants “filth” and a $500,000 punitive damages award – even though only $28 in compensatory damages were issued.
The state Superior Court on Feb. 25 set the stage for a new trial on punitive damages in the case of the late Mark Krieger, whose estate successfully argued AmGuard Insurance Company delayed paying him Workers’ Compensation benefits in bad faith while he was alive.
But the compensation reached in a Kent County Courthouse was only $28 in interest on the delayed payments. Jurors, however, must have been swayed by what the Superior Court called the overzealous representation of Krieger’s estate by lawyer John Spadaro, and handed out a half-million dollars in punitive damages.

EDWARDSVILLE An insurance policy holder filed a class action against an insurance carrier she alleges is illegally underpaying for claims by miscalculating depreciation values.
Pauline Willis, individually and on behalf of others similarly situated, filed a complaint Jan. 15 in the Madison County Circuit Court against AmGuard Insurance Company, alleging breach of contract.
According to the suit, Willis purchased an insurance policy from AmGuard for her residence on Warren Avenue in East St. Louis, which was in effect from Oct. 31, 2019, through Oct. 31, 2020. She alleges her residence suffered damage covered by the policy on April 27, 2020.
Willis alleges that AmGuard s adjuster determined her covered loss to be $97, 209.48, and that AmGuard subtracted $27,558.37 from the replacement cost value (RCV) for depreciation, which resulted in a $69,651.11 actual cash value (ACV) on the claim.
