Can family members sue for the effects of a person’s catastrophic injury?


In some cases, yes. The state of Missouri permits spouses to sue for a separate loss of consortium claim following a serious debilitating injury. The loss of consortium claim addresses changes in a relationship due to a catastrophic injury, such as the loss of intimacy or affection, the inability to participate as a partner or parent, and loss of companionship.

Our lawyers can discuss the potential for a loss of consortium and how much your claim could be worth as we build the catastrophic injury case.
