Boucher Ex Rel. Boucher v. Dixie Medical Center

HALL, Chief Justice:

Plaintiffs Torla and James Boucher appeal an order of the fifth district court dismissing their claims of negligent infliction of emotional distress and loss of filial consortium. We affirm.

The trial court dismissed these claims pursuant to Utah Rule of Civil Procedure 12(b)(6), ruling that the Bouchers failed to state a claim upon which relief can be granted. In reviewing a rule 12(b)(6) dismissal, we view the complaint and all reasonable inferences that can be drawn from the complaint in the light most favorable to the plaintiffs.1 The facts are recited accordingly.2
