Yes, and the burden of proof has not really changed much in the last 30 years. 'Pain and suffering' is assumed in a personal injury case. 'Grief' is not really compensable, as it is a form of mental anguish and/or pain and suffering. 'Mental anguish' still holds the same meaning today as it has for several decades, only we call most of it by different names (harrassment, sexual abuse, misconduct, etc.). It is the same concept, only we say that sexual harrassment, for example, is the cause of one's mental anguish. We more-appropriately identify the underlying offense and find for that, rather than using a cause and effect approach.

Of course. One can sue for intentional infliction of emotional distress or pain and suffering , but generally there is a very high burden to meet in order to receive monetary damages. Contrary to popular thought one can NOT sue for just ANYthing. One can only sue for certain recognizable causes of action.
