TORTS 3D: LIABILITY FOR PHYSICAL AND
EMOTIONAL HARM
Introduction
N.M.2021. Intro. quot. in ftn. to diss. op. Estate of deceased motorist brought a wrongful-death claim in
federal court against gasoline station, alleging that defendant negligently entrusted gasoline to a visibly
intoxicated driver, resulting in the driver colliding with decedent after refueling his empty vehicle. The
district court granted defendant's motion for judgment on the pleadings. The court of appeals certified a
question to this court. This court answered, holding that, for the purposes of a negligent-entrustment
claim, it extended defendant's duty under the Restatement Second of Torts to refrain from negligently
entrusting chattels to include a duty to not sell gasoline to persons it knew or had reason to know were
intoxicated. Citing the Restatement Third of Torts: Liability for Physical and Emotional Harm, the
dissent argued that it was inappropriate for the majority to rely on the Restatement Second of Torts to
resolve novel issues of tort law. Morris v. Giant Four Corners, Inc., 498 P.3d 245, 256.
CHAPTER 1. INTENT, RECKLESSNESS, AND NEGLIGENCE: DEFINITIONS
§ 1. Intent.
Conn.2021. Com. (c) quot. in sup. Hotel operator sued municipal water authority, alleging that
malfunctions in defendant's water pump caused water outages at plaintiff's hotel, resulting in temporary
business closure and lost revenue. On remand, the trial court granted defendant's motion for summary
judgment. This court affirmed, holding, inter alia, that defendant did not owe plaintiff a duty of care,
because normal expectations of defendant's daily tasks did not include an expectation that defendant
would be liable in negligence for the economic losses of customers arising from interruption in water
services. The court explained that governmental-immunity waiver provisions in state statutes weighed
towards a finding that defendant's liability was limited to damages to physical property, as defined by
Restatement Third of Torts: Liability for Physical and Emotional Harm § 1, Comment c, because the
waiver provisions expressly did not apply to defendant's liability arising from purely economic harms.
Raspberry Junction Holding, LLC v. Southeastern Connecticut Water Authority, 263 A.3d 796, 808.
§ 3. Negligence
Colo.App.2021. Coms. (e) and (f) quot. in sup.; com. (h) cit. in ftn. Individual who was seriously
injured while trying to stop an altercation between an intoxicated cab passenger and a cab driver sued
cab company, alleging that it breached the duty of care by failing to install partitions separating the front
