In some cases, it may be possible to sue the seller of a defective property for emotional distress. In order to succeed in a claim for emotional distress, you would generally need to prove that the seller’s conduct was extreme and outrageous, that the conduct caused you to suffer severe emotional distress, and that the seller’s conduct was the direct cause of your distress. This can be a difficult burden to meet, and it is important to keep in mind that damages for emotional distress are generally not available in every case. Whether you would be able to sue the seller of a defective property for emotional distress will depend on the specific facts of your case, and it is recommended that you consult with a qualified attorney to discuss your options.
