. Employment at Will. Adams worked as a delivery truck driver for Cochran. Adams refused to drive a truck that lacked a re¬quired inspec¬tion sticker and was subsequently fired as a result.

Adams sought to recover $7,094 in lost wages and $200,000 in damages for the "humiliation, mental anguish and emotional distress" that he had suffered as a result of being fired from his job. Under what legal doctrines, or exceptions to those doctrines, might Adams be able to re¬cover damages from Cochran? Discuss and explain your reasoning.
