Compensation for emotional damages caused to a person as a result of physical damage to relatives

In the not-so-distant past, there was a belief that the legal system, unlike physical damages, is not capable of measuring mental suffering or inner anxiety, and therefore such damages cannot be compensated. Courts were reluctant to award compensation in cases that resulted in emotional damage without causing physical damage. At that time, the medical science of psychology could not prove the relationship between creating emotional injuries and the physical causes that lead to them.. For a long time, most people believed that madness and other mental illnesses are caused as a result of a person's sins. In the modern era, such a belief has fundamentally changed and psychological studies have become an inseparable part of medical science. Corresponding to this change in rights, the fact that mental injuries are the same as real physical injuries and can be caused by physical actions has also been gradually accepted. Of course, this does not mean that the rights accept any moral damage and order to compensate it. One of the cases to consider is when a person suffers mental injuries, but this injury is not caused by physical injuries inflicted on him, but as a result of seeing or hearing the news of injuries inflicted on another person, he suffers psychological injuries. The classic example is when a mother witnesses her child being run over by a careless driver. Such a mother is probably psychologically damaged and will not be able to perform her daily tasks properly. Can such a mother file a lawsuit and claim damages due to such mental injuries?
