Damages for Worry About Baby’s Health Not Recognized in New York.

The Second Department held that plaintiff could not recover for purely emotional damages.  The complaint alleged plaintiff’s doctor knew plaintiff was pregnant, but allowed her to undergo a CT-scan without informing her of the pregnancy. Plaintiff sought damages for “the emotional distress arising from her fear that the CT-scan might have harmed her unborn child.”  The Second Department determined defendant’s motion to dismiss the complaint should have been granted because “[n]o such claim is recognized under New York law…”. Nadal v Jaramillo, 2012-04006, Index No. 30748/08 Second Dept.1-23-13
