• tolling of the limitations period for consortium claims does not include any interval in which “the injury incubates from the substantial to the very grave,” but instead begins upon appreciable loss of consortium
• declaring for the first time that a parent could recover for the loss of consortium arising out of injuries to a minor child, a position later enacted into law, Mass. Gen. Laws ch. 231, § 85X
