In personal injury and tort law, the concepts of Negligent Infliction of Emotional Distress (NEID) and Intentional Infliction of Emotional Distress (IIED) stand out as particularly nuanced and complex. These legal theories, although distinct in their nature and application, address situations where individuals suffer emotional trauma due to the actions, whether intentional or negligent, of another party. Understanding the intricate differences between NEID and IIED is crucial to knowing what claims you can bring.

In Arizona, resisting arrest is classified under various levels, such as a class 6 felony for actions that pose a substantial risk or involve physical force against an officer trying to make an arrest.However, not every act or failure to act in the face of an arrest will lead to felony charges. Some scenarios may be considered as nonviolent resistance, which could result in a misdemeanor charge but still carry significant penalties, such as up to 3 years of probation.
