Monroe v. Trinity Hospital-Advocate

How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• “The basis for recovery for loss of consortium is interference with the continuance of a healthy and happy marriage and injury to the conjugal relation.”
• “At the time of defendants’ alleged negligent conduct of which Kathy complains, there was no marital relationship. Kathy’s complaint fails to establish a duty owed to her by defendants.”
• “Although a loss of consortium action is necessarily predicated on the claim of a directly injured spouse in that it arises from the same operative facts, it is legally separate and distinct from the directly injured spouse’s cause of action.”
