A loss of consortium claim in New Jersey is a derivative action under the state’s common law, codified in part by the New Jersey Comparative Negligence Act (N.J.S.A. 2A:15-5.1 et seq.). It allows a spouse to seek damages for the loss of spousal companionship, affection, and intimacy when the other spouse suffers a severe personal injury due to another party’s negligence. This claim is not independent; it depends on the success of the injured spouse’s underlying personal injury case. The Loss of Consortium Lawyer Camden County at SRIS, P.C. can explain how this applies to your situation.
