Loss of Consortium
When calculating damages after the unexpected loss of a loved one, one aspect the jury will look at is the loss of consortium. This is the loss of the family relationship a particular person would have with the deceased but for the negligent action. This will make up a portion of the damages sought by a wrongful death lawyer when they assess the value of your loss. While this money will never bring a loved one back, it can help a family with closure after an untimely death.

Loss of Consortium Law
When someone is killed in an accident, there is often no criminal element that will hold the responsible party accountable.
