$375,000.00 in Loss of Consortium Case

$375,000.00 in Loss of Consortium Case

A woman was severely injured when she was struck by a motor vehicle. The injuries were serious to the point where the woman's husband was eligible to file a lawsuit for loss of consortium. Loss of consortium means that the injured spouse is unable to fulfill the normal marital relations, which is usually considered to be sexual intercourse in the marriage. Whether the inability to participate in marital relations is for a certain period of time or a permanent inability, the other spouse can recover damages. In cases like this, the uninjured spouse can file a claim for damages along with the injured spouse's lawsuit for their injuries. The husband in this case approached our firm for help in a lawsuit involving the loss of consortium after his wife's injuries in the accident.

After representing our client in a hearing, an Arbitrator determined that the loss our client is suffering is valued at $375,000.00. The person at fault for the accident did not have to pay this full settlement amount due to the partial fault of the wife in the accident. After comparative fault was taken into account, the actual net award provided to our client was $262,500. If your spouse has been injured at the fault of another, you can hold that party responsible for the inability for you and your spouse to have normal marital relations.
