There is something about a loss of consortium claim in a personal injury lawsuit. A little je ne ménage a trois sais quoi if you will.
For those of you not of the legal world (or those of you in it with a giant stick up your butt), a loss consortium claim basically means “loss of sex”. In other words, we have to sit in a conference room as the Plaintiff, under oath, speaks about his intimate life in explicit detail. All the while keeping a straight face.
The Plaintiff Husband’s Deposition
Opposing Counsel: Please describe your sexual relationship with your spouse.
Husband: It’s good.
The Plaintiff Wife’s Deposition
Opposing Counsel: Please describe your sexual relationship with your spouse.
Wife: Let me tell you, my husband is a jackrabbit. All he wants to do is f**k me. There is no satisfying that man. EVER. F**k. F**k. F**k. F**k. F**k. That’s all he wants to do. This accident is the worst thing that could ever have happened to our sex life. I am just not physically able to please him. I don’t know what to do. The strain on our marriage is massive...
Meanwhile, her husband is sitting right next to her with a face as red as a stop sign.
