Loss of Consortium

Loss of Consortium — When Personal Injury Gets in the Way of Your Relationship with Your Loved Ones

"Loss of consortium" means a personal injury is preventing you from engaging in the activities related to companionship with your spouse or loved ones as you once did.

Compensation for loss of consortium usually is less than other types of compensatory damages. However, it is worth pursuing. Compensation can be significant if, for example, a car or truck accident leads to severe impairment such as paraplegia.

A loss of consortium claim generally will compensate the spouse for loss or deprivation of the following:

  • Affection
  • Comfort
  • Emotional support and care
  • Love
  • Services (household chores, caring for small children)
  • Sexual relations
  • Society
