“The California Supreme Court has allowed plaintiffs to recover damages as ‘direct victims’ in only three types of factual situations: (1) the negligent mishandling of corpses (Christensen v. Superior Court (1991) 54 Cal.3d 868, 879 [2 Cal.Rptr.2d 79, 820 P.2d 181]); (2) the negligent misdiagnosis of a disease that could potentially harm another (Molien, supra, 27 Cal.3d at p. 923); and (3) the negligent breach of a duty arising out of a preexisting relationship (Burgess v. Superior Court (1992) 2 Cal.4th 1064, 1076 [9 Cal.Rptr.2d 615, 831 P.2d 1197]).” (Judicial Council Of California Civil Jury Instruction 1620.)

Greget did not allege sufficient facts to state this cause of action. More specifically, there is a failure to allege with sufficiency facts to show that a duty arose out of an existing relationship. Demurrer is sustained with 15 days leave to amend.

Prayer Plaintiffs also take issue with Greget’s prayer for declaratory relief and injunction; however, that is not a proper matter for demurrer. The Court declines to consider whether Greget’s prayer for declaratory relief and injunction is proper.

Plaintiffs shall give notice.
