Summary

The court affirmed summary judgment for Somatex in Boivin's negligence and negligent-infliction-of-emotional-distress claims arising from witnessing a crane operator's fatal accident. It held that Boivin did not present evidence creating a genuine dispute that she suffered physical injury for purposes of general negligence, and that no recognized circumstance imposed on Somatex a duty to avoid causing her emotional harm.
