Daily v. Bone

TAYLOR, Justice.

John Bone drove Douglas Case’s snowmobile through a stop sign onto a major highway, causing a collision with Vicki Jo Daily’s pickup truck. Although not physically injured, Vicki Jo Daily was emotionally traumatized by John Bone’s abrupt death at the scene. Vicki Jo Daily sued John Bone’s estate and Douglas Case alleging, inter alia, negligence and negligent entrustment. Perceiving an action grounded in negligent infliction of emotional distress, the district court granted summary judgment for John Bone and Douglas Case.

This case sounds in negligence and is remarkable only…
