Can I Sue a Bank for Emotional Distress?

I’m facing significant emotional distress due to an issue with my bank. Is it possible to sue a bank for emotional distress, and if so, what legal grounds and evidence are typically required to pursue such a case?

I am not a lawyer, but I can provide some broad information. To suit for mental distress, you usually need to establish the following:

The bank has a duty to act appropriately and not shamelessly.

Breach: The bank intentionally or recklessly violated its responsibility.
Causation: Their acts caused you worry and harm.

Remember to seek guidance from a legal practitioner about your individual case. They can advise you on the best course of action and help you acquire the necessary proof.

I think everyone would be wealthy if it were possible to sue for “emotional distress” for every setback that life dealt you.
