1Opinion of the Court
The opinion of the Court was delivered by
POLLOCK, Justice.
The primary issue on this appeal is whether the parents of a child whose death is caused by medical misdiagnosis may maintain a claim against the negligent doctor for the infliction of their emotional distress. In the Law Division, the jury awarded the parents $10,000 for the wrongful death of the child and $500 each for their emotional distress. The Appellate Division affirmed the wrongful-death award and reversed the award for emotional distress. 218 N.J.Super. 537 (1987). We granted certification, 109 N.J. 45 (1988), and now affirm.
