The document discusses the complexities of fear liability in tort law, particularly focusing on how fear stemming from perceived risks of physical harm has been treated by courts. It critiques the traditional reliance on physical impact and proximity tests for emotional distress claims, arguing that these do not adequately reflect the realities of modern risk communication. The author proposes a new framework for assigning liability that considers both the role of risk communicators and the significance of the risks they convey. The document emphasizes the need for a more objective approach to determining when fear is compensable, advocating for evidence-based logic (EBL) as a method to assess risks accurately and fairly.
