What is Loss of Consortium in Virginia?

In simple terms, a loss of consortium claim asserts that because an injury sustained by one spouse or partner has negatively impacted the quality of life and companionship enjoyed by the other, the injured party is entitled to damages. It is a recognized tort claim that allows a spouse to sue the at-fault party for the emotional and physical deprivation suffered due to the injury.

What are the key elements of this type of claim?

To successfully prove a loss of consortium claim in Virginia, several key elements must typically be established. First, there must be proof of a tortious act—meaning another party was negligent or otherwise legally responsible for causing an injury. Second, the plaintiff must demonstrate that the injury directly and proximately caused a measurable loss of companionship, services, or affection. Third, the damages must be quantifiable, even if they are emotional in nature. Because these claims involve complex medical evidence, detailed testimony regarding the relationship’s pre-injury state, and experienced attorney analysis of the post-injury limitations, the legal process is highly intricate.

What types of damages can be claimed?

Damages in a loss of consortium case are generally categorized into two groups: economic damages and non-economic damages. Economic damages cover quantifiable losses, such as the increased need for caregiving services, lost household contributions, or medical expenses related to the injury. Non-economic damages are more subjective but equally critical; these include the loss of companionship, affection, comfort, and services. Our attorneys work diligently to gather evidence—including testimony from friends, family, and medical professionals—to substantiate the full scope of these non-economic losses.
