The issue in this premises liability case is whether a person who witnesses an accidental death, but suffers no personal physical injury himself, may recover from the landowner damages for mental anguish. The court of appeals reversed a summary judgment on a negligence claim, holding that mental anguish damages were recoverable upon the breach of the landowner's duty to provide a safe parking area.
