Someone who witnesses a severely traumatic event, such as a bystander at the scene of a violent crime, may be able to make a claim for negligent infliction of emotional distress (or simply NIED).

First and foremost, an NIED claim is a negligence claim. This means the plaintiff must prove that the defendant (the person being sued) failed to exercise a reasonable level of care, and that this failure caused the underlying incident.

The tort of negligent infliction of emotional distress (NIED) is a controversial cause of action, which is available in nearly all U.S. states but is severely constrained and limited in the majority of them.

California law recognizes two distinct legal claims that allow victims to seek compensation for this kind of harm in the workplace: Intentional Infliction of Emotional Distress (IIED) and Negligent Infliction of Emotional Distress (NIED).

National Research Institute for Earth Science and Disaster Resilience (hereinafter “NIED”) promotes diverse research with the basic objective of “realizing a society that is highly resilient to disasters by enhancing science and technology for disaster resilience”.
