- Plaintiff suffered emotional distress (to be discussed in greater detail in a later post); AND
- Defendant's negligent conduct was a cause of the serious emotional distress.
II. INTENTIONAL INFLICTION OF EMOTIONAL DISTRESS
- Outrageous conduct on the part of the Defendant;
- Defendant intended to cause emotional distress, or, Defendant acted in reckless disregard of the probability of causing emotional distress;
