Is there any case law that supports a plaintiff's claim for intentional infliction of emotional distress?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from Morgan v. Pac. Specialty Ins. Co., B225793 (Cal. App. 2012):

In sustaining defendants' demurrer without leave to amend, the trial court relied on Coleman v. Republic Indemnity Ins. Co. (2005) 132 Cal.App.4th 403, which observes at page 417 that "California courts have held that delay or denial of insurance claims is not sufficiently outrageous to state a cause of action for intentional infliction of emotional distress." Nothing in plaintiff's briefs suggests that this rule should not apply to the instant case.
