Lost Consortium Pedestrian Accidents

Pedestrians are highly vulnerable to accidents with moving vehicles and deserve to be fully compensated when a pedestrian accident directly results from a driver’s negligence. If you or a loved one has been injured in a pedestrian accident, contact 844 See Mike for a free consultation.

If the vehicle-driver in the accident is found to be negligent, and legally liable as a result, you will be entitled to compensation for the damages you sustained. This compensation may include “lost consortium,” of which there are two basic legal interpretations: the first, and more traditional, defines loss of consortium as a loss of intimacy and sexual bonding with one’s significant other, typically a spouse, due to injuries sustained in an accident. The second defines it as lost benefits of family relationships, such as between parents and children.

Under the traditional interpretation, compensation for the lost consortium is typically awarded only to spouses, meaning the victim and partner must be married for potential eligibility. The spouse’s lost consortium claim may be filed separately from the victim’s personal injury claim and is often a standalone claim when the victim loses his/her life due to the accident. Regardless, testimony is often necessary for this form of compensation, which can require divulging rather intimate and personal details and information about the victim’s and spouse’s relations. Our attorneys understand the sensitivity of these cases and will be there for you every step of the way to ensure that you are fully compensated, your rights are protected, and you are treated with complete respect in the eyes of the law.
