Legal Beagle Podcast: Nick and Courtney Rowley

Legal Beagle Podcast: Nick and Courtney Rowley

Nick Rowley, Courtney Rowley, and Daniel Bidegaray join Jonathan to talk about Loss of Consortium. Loss of consortium is a standalone claim for damages brought by the spouse (and sometimes children) of an individual who has been injured or killed as a result of a defendant’s negligence.

Think loss of love and affection from your spouse because they were injured. Nick and Courtney tried a case in Bakersfield back in September of 2021 and obtained a multi-million dollar verdict for Loss of Consortium.

Nick goes as far as to do an actual role-play of how you talk to potential jurors during Voir Dire (jury selection) about a Loss of Consortium claim.
