In Alabama, there is a claim for you for loss of consortium which is a derivative of any claim he may bring. He would have to bring the claim, though.

You can sue for loss of consortium as an adjunct to your husbands claim. You need to deal with his emotions, need him to see a councilor.

He can sue and if he does, you can also file a suit for loss of consortium. YOU may not be able o bring your own claim separate from his.

Yes, you would have a "loss of consortium" claim for the suffering you've been through as a result of your husband's injury.
