1211 Words5 Pages

Issue Does Dr. Nolan-Pryor have a civil cause of action for negligent infliction of emotional distress (NIED) as a bystander against Santiago Adler? Brief Answer Probably no. Dr. Nolan-Pryor did not establish a high enough level of certainty regarding her husband’s involvement in the collision or his injuries due to the accident in order to satisfy the “contemporaneous awareness” element of a bystander claim.

Dr. Nolan-Pryor was driving her blue 2013 Lexus SUV, while Dr. Pryor was in his silver 2014 Toyota Prius. Traffic on I-80 was slow; Dr. Nolan-Pryor estimated her speed range from 20 to 40 miles per hour. As the couple approached the Mace Boulevard exit, Dr. Nolan-Pryor’s car was located “in the lane to the left of the right-hand lane”, and Dr. Pryor was traveling in about 10 car lengths from her in the lane to her right, with a black Toyota Tundra truck in front of him and a red Ford Escape SUV behind him. “At around the point where the Mace Boulevard exit sign is posted”, Dr. Nolan-Pryor was looking to her left, when suddenly she heard “the sound of a crash” coming from a location ahead of Dr. Nolan-Pryor’s car and to her right. …show more content…

Suddenly he sees small hints of red and orange moving which alerted him imidieditely that it was fire so without even thinking he changed course so that he was headed that direction to try to help anyone there or animals from burning. As he was entering the place that was near to the fire he noticed that the road changed from being paved to being dirt so this meant the fire was in a ranch or field. When he got to the place a lifted blue ford 4x4 passed him going about 60 mph which looked suspicious so he turned around skidding the back wheels a bit and started chasing this person to see if they were guilty of anything but when the truck saw he was coming went even faster and at the next turn Michael didn’t know where to go.
