b. (claimant) was involved in some way in the incident that resulted in the injury to (name of injured/deceased);
c. (claimant) had a close personal relationship to (name of injured/deceased);
d. (claimant) suffered a physical [injury] [condition] [impairment]; and
e. (claimant’s) physical [injury] [condition] [impairment] resulted from the emotional distress that arose from (claimant’s) involvement in the incident.
