Loss of Consortium Damages in North Carolina

A spouse can make a claim if the injured spouse can no longer do the things he or she used to be able to do. Damages for loss of consortium are commonly sought in cases involving wrongful death. Compensation may be awarded for the following:
- Loss or impairment of sexual relations
