Loss of consortium is when an injury or death messes up your relationship with someone close. It’s hard to put a price on losing the love, laughs, or support you shared. Say your spouse gets involved in a car crash and can’t connect with you like before. Or a parent loses a kid and feels that empty space where their bond used to be.
A Dallas personal injury attorney can take that hurt and make a case out of it, showing a judge or jury how your world’s been rocked. In Texas, this usually gets tied into bigger lawsuits, like for injuries or wrongful death, to cover both the cash and the emotional toll.
Who Can Make a Claim?
Texas law says only close family like husbands, wives, kids, or parents can go after loss of consortium. The state’s Wrongful Death Statute lets them ask for money to make up for the emotional hole left behind. For example, if a kid loses their mom in a wreck, they can claim the guidance and love she’d have given.
A Dallas personal injury attorney from Robert C. Slim Law Firm can check if you’re eligible and help you build a case that tells your story right.
What Losses Can You Claim?
This claim covers things that aren’t about money, like:
- Companionship: The everyday moments, talks, and support that disappear.
- Intimacy: For couples, the physical and emotional closeness that’s gone.
- Guidance: For kids, the advice or role model a parent can’t provide anymore.
