Loss of consortium suits are a legal action often brought by the spouse of the injured worker that alleges the loss of spousal services including but not limited to companionship, help with household duties, and sexual relations.

Additional Information


Parents or children of the injured worker can also bring suits of this type claiming the loss of services, typically companionship. Many jurisdictions have allowed these types of actions to be heard even when the worker is already receiving workers compensation benefits. Coverage for a lawsuit of this type is provided by the employers liability section of the workers compensation policy.
