Claims for intentional infliction of emotional distress and negligent infliction of emotional distress are difficult to prove and are routinely dismissed by the courts.
In order to make a claim for intentional infliction of emotional distress, the plaintiff must demonstrate that (1) the defendant intended to inflict emotional distress or knew or should have known that emotional distress was the likely result of his or her conduct; (2) the conduct was extreme and outrageous so as to exceed all bounds of civilized society; (3) the defendant's conduct was the cause of the plaintiff's distress; and (4) plaintiff's emotional distress was severe -- typically meaning that the plaintiff must have had to seek therapy or psychiatric care.
