The plaintiff, Jeni Jones makes a strong case for negligent infliction of emotional distress against the defendant, Barney Oldfield, as he has a duty to drive responsibly, breaches that duty and, as a result, causes Jones to sustain physical injuries from fright. In our case, the plaintiff, Jeni Jones, walked on the side of the road next to her fiancé, Victor Tamm. Barney Oldfield, who was not driving with two hands and was texting while driving, hit Tamm only. Tamm was mildly injured from the incident and later settled his claim for injuries with Oldfield’s insurance company. Jones was not struck by Oldfield’s car but suffered a chronic nervous condition as a result of witnessing her fiancée get hit by a car and fearing for his life.
