Heading: whether tina's and tanya's husbands' claims of loss of consortium constitute a separate occurrence.

Text: ¶ 12. In Choctaw, Inc., v. Wichner, 521 So.2d 878 (Miss.1988), the Court dealt with the issue of whether a wife's loss of consortium claim should be reduced by the contributory negligence of her husband. The Court found that the offended spouse has a separate action. Id. at 880. ¶ 13. Despite the fact that the husbands' claims are separate from Tina's and Tanya's claims, it is not logical that the loss of consortium claims could be considered a separate occurrence within the meaning of the insurance policy. Therefore, we find that the loss of consortium claims are not separate occurrences under the insurance policy.
