Intentional Infliction of Emotional Distress (IED) occurs when a defendant: Engages in extreme and outrageous conduct that Intentionally or recklessly Causes Severe emotional distress to another The most difficult part of an IED case is proving that the defendant’s behavior was outrageous. Simple threats and insults will usually not be enough to warrant a claim. A person is expected to withstand a certain level of hurt feelings and rude behavior. To be considered outrageous, the average person hearing what happened would be expected to exclaim, “That’s outrageous.” If the person broke the law while causing you emotional distress, their behavior is more likely to be considered outrageous. Additionally, severe emotional distress is considered to be any amount of emotional distress that a person would not normally be able to endure. A reaction to such distress would look like grief, shame, humiliation, worry, anger, fright, or embarrassment. The degree of the stress will be considered, but it does not need to be so intense that you cannot continue work or have normal social interactions. https://www.tuleylaw.com/emotional-damages/ Message Thread: Question for lawtalkers - tvillini February 10, 2024, 17:47:25 Over my skis here, but let's start with IIED - complainant February 10, 2024, 19:11:17 See also - - complainant February 10, 2024, 19:15:32 Thanks.
