Peter was a 35-year old businessman.  Peter was married to Patty and together Peter and Patty had one child; a son named, Paul, who was 10-years old.  Peter was in the business of investing in other businesses.  Peter had contacted Oscar who was the proprietor of Oscar’s Warehouse.  Oscar expressed interest in meeting with Paul to discuss having Peter invest in Oscar’s Warehouse business.  A date was set for a meeting at the location of Oscar’s business. On the date decided upon, Peter went to Oscar’s business to meet with Oscar and to inspect his warehouse operation.  After meeting in Oscar’s office, Oscar and Peter were walking through the warehouse.  Suddenly, a large, heavy pallet fell from a high shelf and landed on Peter.  The pallet had been pushed off of the shelf by David.  David was an employee of Oscar’s who was operating a forklift.  At the time of the accident, David had been sliding another pallet on to the same shelf from which the pallet fell that landed on Peter.  David had been sliding the pallet from the aisle on the opposite side of the shelving using a forklift.  David had not checked to see what else was on the shelf before sliding his load on to the shelf.  David had been hired by Oscar as a forklift operator.  Oscar scheduled David’s hours and paid David on our hourly basis. As a result of the accident, Peter sustained severe internal injuries.  Peter was rushed to a hospital in an ambulance and treated.  However, Peter died one week later due to his injuries.  At the time of his death Peter was the sole financial support for Patty and Paul.  Peter was earning $10,000.00 per week through his investment business.  Peter’s medical bills for the week he was hospitalized were $250,000.00.  Peter’s funeral cost $15,000.00.  Peter had planned to work another 30 years and retire at the age of 65. If Patty and Paul pursue claims for losses due to the death of Peter, who can each pursue claims against, and for what?  Discuss fully.

Priscilla went to Dr. Goodwrench for treatment of a painful ear malady that had also caused her to suffer a loss of balance, dizziness, and nausea. While Dr. Goodwrench was examining Priscilla’s ear he noticed a lump of wax. As he was removing the wax from Priscilla’s ear, he also noticed what appeared to be the rear legs of an insect. With great care he removed the lump of wax from Priscilla’s ear. Dr. Goodwrench then examined the substance and found within the lump of wax a Japanese cockroach. Dr. Goodwrench held up the insect in front of Priscilla to show it to her. She became hysterical, fainted and fell to the floor breaking her nose. Thereafter, Priscilla developed a phobia and has become deathly afraid of all insects. In a suit for damages against Dr. Goodwrench, which of the following torts would provide Priscilla with her best theory of recovery?
