Negligence - Damages - Mental Anguish From Witnessing Peril Of Third Party, Mark Shaevsky
Michigan Law Review
Plaintiffs (husband, wife, and three children) incurred physical injuries and a fourth child was burned to death in an automobile collision with the defendant's vehicle. Plaintiffs claimed compensation for mental anguish sustained from witnessing the death of the child. Defendant's motion to strike the allegations of mental suffering, held, granted. Defendant owes no legal duty to protect plaintiffs from mental suffering caused by viewing another in peril. Lessard v. Tarca, (Conn. Super. 1957) 133 A. (2d) 625.
