Loss of consortium is a legal claim recognized in Michigan that allows the spouse of an injured person to seek compensation for the loss of love, affection, companionship, and household services resulting from their partner’s injuries sustained in an auto accident or other personal injury incident. This claim acknowledges the profound impact a serious injury can have on a marriage or family relationship. Under Michigan law, loss of consortium damages are available to the uninjured spouse, provided they can demonstrate a genuine loss of the benefits associated with the marital relationship. Notably, The Joseph Dedvukaj Firm has extensive experience handling complex auto accident cases, including those involving rear-end collisions, hit-and-run incidents, and crashes caused by drunk drivers. Their skilled attorneys can help spouses pursue fair compensation for loss of consortium claims stemming from their loved one’s injuries, ensuring their rights are protected throughout the legal process.
