My husband got hurt at work and our marriage is falling apart because of it. He is unable to have sex due to surgery from the accident. Can I sue?

Jackie: I am sorry to hear about the injury that your husband suffered, and the resulting difficulties that the 2 of you are experiencing.Unfortunately, Workers Compensation only provides wage loss benefits and medical benefits, not "special damages." Further, a Spouse does not have a cause of action result of a Workers Compensation Claim.If your Husband was injured by a "third-party" such as being involved in a motor vehicle accident, slip and fall on a customer's property or by a defective product, he may have a third-party cause of action which would then allow you to have a loss of consortium claim. If, however, your husband's injuries was merely due to his performing his regular job duties and/or caused by a co-employee he would not have such a third-party cause of action nor would you have any loss of consortium claim.If you require any further information regarding your inquiry, do not hesitate to contact my Office.
