Description
The provisions of G. L. c. 152, §§ 1 (4) & 23, barred a widow's common law claim against her husband's employer alleging negligent infliction of emotional distress upon her arising from the injury and subsequent death of her husband in an industrial accident, where she had filed a claim and received compensation benefits under the workers' compensation act. [361-362] This action stems from the injury and death of Stephen B. McLaughlin in an industrial accident. The plaintiffs, the decedent's widow and minor son, brought suit against the decedent's employer for (1) the widow's loss of consortium caused by the employer's negligence, (2) the widow's loss of consortium caused by the employer's wilful, wanton, and reckless conduct, (3) negligent infliction of emotional distress upon the widow, and (4) the minor son's loss of parental society caused by the employer's negligence.
