Consortium damages are different from compensatory damages in that they are the damages suffered by a spouse or family member of a person who has been injured or killed due to the negligence of another person. Loss of consortium damages typically falls into one of the following categories:
Loss of services. This includes the reasonable value of chores and anything else the victim did around the house.
Loss of support. This includes all support that the victim would have provided had they not been injured or killed. This includes companionship, affection, comfort, and society.
Loss of quality in a relationship. This includes a loss of sexual relations, affection, and emotional support provided to a spouse or partner.
