While it doesn’t require you to have a physical injury, there are some requirements necessary to make it a valid claim. An infliction of emotional distress claim is asserting that the defendant’s actions caused you to suffer emotional distress; not a physical injury.

An example could be you seeing and your family member standing on the sidewalk and your family member gets hit by a reckless driver.

The case law has evolved over the years and currently states that the emotional distress could even happen weeks or months later and not necessarily at the time and location of the accident.
