If your spouse, child, or parent was injured in an accident to the extent that he or she can no longer provide equivalent companionship, affection, care, or (in the case of a spouse) sexual intimacy, you could be entitled to sue for damages.
Loss of consortium claim refers to non-economic damages claimed by loved ones after an accident impacts a victim’s ability to interact with his or her loved ones.
After you’ve hired an attorney to seek compensation for loss of consortium damages and you’re waiting to settle, you can get a lawsuit loan from Delta Lawsuit Loans to help cover costs.
This can be especially important if the injured party has expensive medical bills or is no longer bringing in income, but that’s your business, not ours.
Once you’re approved for loss of consortium settlements funding, the money is yours to spend as you see fit.
Any serious injury can result in loss of consortium.
If a person injured in an accident or due to negligence has a family, and the family is harmed emotionally by the victim’s inability to express affection or companionship in the same way he or she did before the accident, they have lost consortium and are entitled to damages.
One cause of loss of consortium could be paralysis after a car accident, which would prevent a victim from having sexual intimacy with his or her spouse.
His or her spouse could sue for loss of consortium, while the victim would sue for economic damages as well.
Whether a spouse was hurt in an accident and can no longer offer the same intimacy as before, or a parent was severely injured and can no longer care for his or her children as he or she once could, you could be entitled to sue for loss of consortium.
Once you hire a lawyer, you will be able to apply for a pre-settlement cash advance from Delta Lawsuit Loans, money you can use for whatever you want.
In some states, only a spouse can sue for loss of consortium. Some states extend this right to domestic partners.
Still other states extend loss of consortium to children and parents.
You should discuss the laws in your state with your attorney.
If you turn out to be eligible to sue for loss of consortium and you have an attorney, you will then also become eligible for a lawsuit loan from Delta Lawsuit Loans.
We’ll consult with your attorney regarding the details of your case, and you can be approved for a pre-settlement cash advance as soon as the day after you apply.
The defendants in a loss of consortium lawsuit will likely be the same as those named in the economic damages portion of the lawsuit.
The same people whose negligence caused the victim to suffer the accident were also responsible for his or her spouse’s, parents’, or children’s loss of consortium.
Whoever the defendants are, Delta Lawsuit Loans can help with a lawsuit loan that will help you get from your loved one’s injury to settlement.
It can take months or years to settle a loss of consortium lawsuit, and for all that time you won’t see a cent to cover your loved one’s medical bills or make up for his or her lost wages.
A settlement loan from Delta Lawsuit Loans can help ease some of the financial and emotional burdens that come with loss of consortium.
How much a spouse, child, or parent can expect to see out of a loss of consortium lawsuit
depends on the details of the victim’s relationship to him or her. In a loss of consortium case,
very intimate and private details can become the center of settlement talks.
For example, how much the loss of consortium lawsuit for a spouse may be worth depends on the stability of the spouse’s relationship with the victim, the level of companionship the spouse enjoyed from the victim, and how the spouses lived before the accident (together, separated,
etc.).
Another thing that will be considered is how much longer each spouse would be expected to live if the accident hadn’t happened. In other words, if the accident hadn’t happened, how long until one spouse would have lost consortium by means of natural causes?
In this way, younger couples will receive more damages than older couples or couples in which one spouse is sick.
In addition, you should be aware that some states place caps on noneconomic damages, including loss of consortium. In this case, even if the loss of consortium was devastating, you cannot receive more than the cap.
After suffering loss of consortium, money may not be the first thing you’re thinking about, but it’s always a top concern.
Paying for your spouse’s medical bills while not getting any of the income he or she used to bring in can be financially devastating, even if loss of consortium is limited to emotional and intimate pain.
For that reason, you should consider applying for a lawsuit loan from us. You can use the money for whatever you need or want, and you don’t pay us back until you’ve gotten a settlement. And if you fail to settle, you don’t pay us back at all.
Lawsuit loans allow victims and their loved ones to restart their lives sooner than settlements alone or traditional bank loans allow.
If you wait for settlement money to get your lives back on track, you could be stuck where you are for months or even years. You could choose to accept the first offer you get to speed up the proceedings and get the cash quickly, but then you’ll be left with a lowball offer that doesn’t nearly meet what you deserve.
Or you could go the bank loan route and take a loan that’s due when it’s due, whether or not you’ve settled by that date.
You could even be left failing to settle and still having to pay back a bank loan. More than that, banks will check your credit and whether you’re working.
Lawsuit loans from us, on the other hand, are tied directly to your settlement, so your credit or employment doesn’t matter. You’ll pay us back when you settle, and if you lose your lawsuit and can’t settle, you won’t owe us anything!
