Summary
In Krouse v. Graham, 57 Cal.App.3d 752, 129 Cal.Rptr. 624 (1976), another recent case, the appellate court reversed the jury verdict for the plaintiff because a jury instruction omitted the requirement that physical injury be caused by the direct emotional impact from the sensory and contemporaneous observance of the accident; rather the injury might, from the testimony given, have been the effect of feelings of anger and retribution against defendant or from grief and sorrow at the loss of the loved one, which in that case was a wife.
