Riley v. Whybrewgreen

2 sentences

App. 2005), this Court concluded that a negligent infliction of emotional distress claim that accompanied a nuisance claim was not a stand-alone claim, and therefore the Camper expert proof requirement was inapplicable, despite the appellee’s contention that expert proof was required in the absence of an accompanying physical injury.
