What is the difference between negligent infliction of emotional distress and intentional infliction of emotional distress?
What will be an ideal response?
Intentional infliction requires that the defendant's behavior be extreme and outrageous, whereas negligent infliction requires only that the defendant's conduct be unreasonable and create an unreasonable risk of foreseeable harm. In other words, negligent infliction of emotional distress does not require a showing of outrageous conduct.
