Questions for Loss of Consortium Deposition

I incurred an injury which basically made me become impotent as my penis was injured and had to be amputated. Can I be compensated for pain and suffering as I will no longer be able to live a normal life in so many different ways? I also will feel mentally anguished for quite some time.

How did this accident occur? If this was a result of Medical Malpractice, there are statutes on award limits for pain and suffering damages you can receive depending on the state you live in. However, if this is a civil lawsuit against an individual, or company, you can certainly sue for pain and suffering. As a result of your injury, you will no longer be able to maintain a healthy marriage (per say), reproduce, have sex, and surely, there are mental repercussions as well. This is known as Loss of Consortium; the deprivation of benefits and qualities of life between your family as a result of the injury. Some loss of consortium deposition questions that will be asked in a court case and by attorneys will relate to how this injury will affect your relationship, sex life, and all other aspects of life with your family or partner as a result of this injury. Consult with an attorney to ensure all these various areas are properly determined and assessed to ensure maximum compensation. Best of luck and very sorry to hear about this misfortune.
