    TORTS 3D: LIABILITY FOR PHYSICAL AND

                           EMOTIONAL HARM





Generally

Ky.App.2017.  Cit. generally in conc. op.; cit. generally in law review articles cit. and quot. in ftn. to
conc. op. In a negligence and premises-liability action against a landlord and tenant for injuries visitor
sustained when he entered defendants' property in order to retrieve an errant basketball, this court
reversed summary judgment for tenant and remanded for a determination of plaintiff's status as
licensee/invitee or trespasser upon entering defendant's property. The concurring opinion questioned
whether the Kentucky Supreme Court should abandon the status-based distinctions of
invitee/licensee/trespasser for the two-category approach set forth in Restatement Third of Torts:
Liability for Physical and Emotional Harm of entrant/flagrant trespasser as it had indicated it was ready
to do. Carney v. Galt, 517 S.W.3d 507, 513-515, 517, 519.

Iowa, 2017. Cit. generally in ftn. In an action brought by parents of a severely disabled child against
physicians who allegedly failed to inform them of fetal congenital abnormalities that were found during
an ultrasound in the second trimester of pregnancy, this court reversed summary judgment for
defendants and recognized a cause of action for wrongful birth, explaining that a wrongful-birth claim
was consistent with traditional common-law principles of medical negligence, favorable under public-
policy considerations, and cognizable under Iowa law. In considering the application of the offset rule
set forth in Restatement Second of Torts § 920, the court noted that the Restatement Third of Torts:
Liability for Physical and Emotional Harm did not have a similar provision. Plowman v. Fort Madison
Community  Hospital, 896 N.W.2d 393, 406.



        CHAPTER 1. INTENT, RECKLESSNESS, AND NEGLIGENCE: DEFINITIONS

§ 3. Negligence

Conn.2017.  Com. (f) cit. in disc. Student and her parents brought a federal action against private school,
after student sustained permanent brain damage from tick-borne encephalitis contracted while on a
school trip to China, alleging that defendant had failed to warn of or protect her against the risk of
exposure to insect-borne diseases. The district court entered judgment on a jury verdict for plaintiffs.
The court of appeals affirmed, upholding the jury's finding that the risk of contracting an insect-borne
disease was foreseeable, and certified questions to this court. This court held that Connecticut public
policy supported the imposition of an affirmative duty on a school to warn about or protect against a
foreseeable risk of serious disease in organizing a trip abroad for its students. The court addressed
defendant's argument that the chances of contracting an insect-borne disease were too remote to impose
a duty to warn or protect, and quoted Restatement Third of Torts: Liability for Physical and Emotional
