What are loss of consortium damages?

Posted on Wednesday, November 18th, 2009 at 6:59 am    

In personal injury cases, the plaintiff may receive compensatory damages for loss of consortium. This type of award is meant to compensate an injured party for the damage that the injury caused to that party's relationship.

For instance, many loss of consortium cases relate to marriages. If one of the spouses is injured in an acccident and is unable to fulfill one of the duties of marriage, such as providing for the family or sex, then the defendant may have to compensate the injured party for this loss. 

If you or anyone you know is considering filing a loss of consortium claim, contact the Kenosha compensatory damages lawyers of Habush Habush & Rottier S.C. ®, at 800-242-2874. 

The risk of airbag injuries

Posted on Wednesday, November 11th, 2009 at 5:16 am    

When accidents occur, airbags often are released and help reduce the chance of significant injury. However, airbags sometimes lead to injuries not related to the accident.

Airbag injuries often occur because of the strong impact or a product defect. When the airbag has a defect and a driver or passenger is injured, then the airbag manufacturer or installer may be liable for damages. 

If you or anyone you know has been injured by an airbag, contact the Kenosha airbag defect attorneys of 800-242-2874. 

Can damages be recovered if the driver was not wearing a seat belt?

Posted on Monday, November 2nd, 2009 at 7:22 am    

Wearing a seat belt is an important precaution for all drivers and passengers. As studies have shown, when people wear seat belts, their risk of serious injuries in accident is significantly reduced. 

If a person is not wearing a seat belt and is injured in an accident, that person can still likely sue for damages. Some states, however, have laws that greatly reduce the amount of damages for people not wearing seat belts. 

If you have been injured in an accident and were not wearing a seat belt, contact the Kenosha car accident attorneys of Habush Habush & Rottier S.C. ®, at 800-242-2874.
