Re: husband in auto accident
Loss of consortium is a loss which a spouse can claim in a personal injury case. In small cases, loss of consortium is not normally an issue. If the settlement did not specify any loss of consortium, including a percentage of the settlement for loss of consortium, then there is no loss of consortium claim.
