consequential bodily injury suits
A type of lawsuit insured by the employers liability coverage of a workers
compensation policy. In this type of legal action, a member of the injured worker's
family purports to have an injury that directly results from the injury to
the employee. Often, mental injuries are alleged. Legislative action in many
states has narrowed the applicability of this type of lawsuit.
