G.C. v. Dept. of Children and Families

Kathleen Rivers appeals a final summary judgment entered in her action against her employer, Grimsley Oil Company, Inc. In the action, Ms. Rivers claimed she received psychological injuries as a result of a robbery, which she alleges Grimsley Oil could have prevented if it had not been negligent in providing security at her workplace. We affirm because Florida does not recognize a cause of action for negligent infliction of emotional distress under these circumstances, at least in the absence of a physical impact or injury.
