My wife was in a car accident and sustained severe injuries, can I sue for loss of consortium?

Yes. Clients think that loss of consortium involves the value of the physical aspects of a relationship (sex) when in actuality it is more valuable when it is argued based upon every other aspect of the relationship that is lost as a result of a given party’s injuries.

For example, a loss of consortium claim is much more valuable when an injured party can no longer make coffee for their partner as a result of their injuries for the rest of their lives as an example.

The smaller the loss as an example often documents those most important aspects of a relationship between two people that is the basis for a loss of consortium claim by the partner of an injured party.
