loss of consortium

Read a random definition: hire-purchase agreement

A quick definition of loss of consortium:

Loss of consortium is when someone is hurt or killed because of someone else's actions, and their family members are deprived of the good things that come with being in a family, like love and physical affection. For example, if a husband is hurt in an accident, his wife can sue for damages because she is no longer able to enjoy the same kind of relationship with him as before.

A more thorough explanation:

Loss of consortium is when a person is deprived of the benefits of a family relationship due to injuries caused by someone else's wrongdoing. This can include the loss of affection, companionship, and sexual relations.

For example, if a person is injured in a car accident and is no longer able to engage in sexual activity with their spouse, the spouse can sue for damages based on loss of consortium. Similarly, if a person is killed in an accident, their spouse can sue for the loss of companionship and support that they would have received if their loved one had not been taken away.

Loss of consortium can be a difficult and emotional issue for families to deal with, and it is important for those who have suffered this type of loss to seek legal help to ensure that they receive the compensation they deserve.

My berkeley paragraph finally disappeared. I definitely think it is just an indicator that they are actively reviewing files, and does not mean anything about A, WL, or Rs
