Matthews Attorneys at Law PLAYING ON EMOTIONS While it is well known that such wrongdoing as assault or battery may give rise to legal action should they result in injury, there is also an emotional side to the issue. That is, a person has the right to sue those who intentionally cause them emotional distress. The intentional infliction of emotional distress is considered to be a willful tort that involves outrageous conduct that results in severe emotional pain or discomfort. Conversely, negligent, unintentional infliction of emotional distress is not likely to consitute cause of action for damages unless it is tied to physical injury or impact. Some jurisdictions have begun to rethink the physical impact rule, thereby permitting damages for cases based solely on emotional distress.
Proving you are the victim of the intentional infliction of emotion distress can be a difficult and onerous struggle; make sure you have an attorney you feel confident with when seeking damages. For matters involving civil litigation, personal injury, auto accidents, wrongful death claims, slips falls, disability, drunk driving, criminal defense, divorce, real estate, wills, and probate, call 810-227-7777 or 517-546- 6666.

Spence Abraham, traveled through downtown Brighton and stopped at Coney Joe's, the Yum Yum Tree and the Big Boy restaurant, meeting Brighton residents on their lunch break and discussing her husband's ideas for the future of the U.S. Senate.

"The more people you meet, the better you Abraham stopped in Brighton on her way to Mason, where she was to visit with other Michigan voters before attending a Mothers Against Drunk Driving rally.

Abraham himself was originally scheduled to appear, but representatives from his campaign said he was working in another area. "We were here (Brighton) in the summer a couple of times," Jane Abraham said. "Spence came for a reading (at the Little Professor book shop), and his wife came to buy books. I'm determined to bring the kids back to the Yum Yum Tree they would like that train." Abraham said she was aware she was not the only Republican candidate's wife to visit Brighton in recent weeks. Like Laura and Barbara Bush, who visited shops on Main Street Oct.
18, Abraham said she was looking to meet voters in the last two weeks before Election Day. "I'm concentrating on getting out and meeting people," she said. "I was on the bus when (the Bushes) went to southeast Michigan (the evening of Oct. 18). They couldn't stop talking about Brighton."
