Intentional Infliction of Emotional Distress • Medical Evidence • Required Evidence
Gray v. Huntzinger, PICS Case No. 16-1103 (Pa. Super. Aug. 30, 2016) Lazarus, J. (11 pages).
Trial court erred by not granting JNOV for employer appellants in appellee’s intentional infliction of emotional distress complaint based on the incidents around his termination from employment because appellee did not present expert medical testimony at trial and in Pennsylvania, to the extent that the tort of intentional infliction of emotional distress was recognized, it was limited to those cases in which the claimant presented competent medical evidence of emotional distress. Reversed.
