RECENT OPINION SUMMARIES
SPEED ET. AL.v. RAVASIO, M.D., ET. AL.
A.D. 14-11020 (2015)
A cause of action for negligent infliction of emotional distress is restricted to four factual scenarios: (1) situations where the defendant had a contractual or fiduciary duty toward the plaintiff; (2) the plaintiff was subjected to a physical impact; (3) the plaintiff was in a zone of danger, thereby reasonably experiencing a fear of impending physical injury; or (4) the plaintiff observed a tortious injury to a close relative.
To recover under the bystander theory of liability, where there is a separateness in time between the alleged negligence and the resultant traumatic injury, a plaintiff must allege that she witnessed both. A plaintiff does not “witness” a traumatic injury for purposes of the bystander theory of liability when that plaintiff learns of the loved ones’ injury or demise via a third party.
DILLON MCCANDLESS KING COULTER & GRAHAM, ET. AL. v. RUPERT
A.D. 12-10019 (2015)
A personal injury claim and a loss of consortium claim are separate and distinct claims. Although a loss of consortium claim hinges on the success of the underlying claim of the spouse, the loss of consortium claim in still considered to be a spate and distinct claim from the injured spouse’s claim, as the non-injured spouse suffers injuries in her own right.
