When a serious accident injures your spouse in Nevada, you too suffer profound losses — the loss of companionship, affection, moral support, and the intimate aspects of your marital relationship. Nevada recognizes these losses through the loss of consortium claim, which compensates the uninjured spouse for the impact the injured spouse’s injuries have on the marital relationship. Loss of consortium is a derivative personal injury claim that accompanies the injured spouse’s primary case and is tried together with it. Marathon Law Group includes loss of consortium claims as a standard part of serious injury representation, ensuring the full impact of accidents on Nevada families is presented to insurers and juries.

Loss of consortium is a separate claim that must be pleaded and proved with evidence — it is not automatically included in a personal injury recovery.
