Emotional Distress

As a reference for attorneys handling cases involving emotional distress damages, this book summarizes litigation from emotional distress cases throughout the country. Abele (a Phoenix, Arizona attorney and author of several law specialty books) defines the categories of emotional distress that are most accepted by courts and jurors, discusses limitations that the plaintiffs have in claiming emotional distress, and offers reasons why some cases fail and others succeed. Topics include emotional distress as an element in tort, cause of action, proof of injury, and a client interview checklist. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
