What is a “loss of relationships” claim?

A “loss of relationships” claim is a type of personal injury claim related to a traumatic brain injury (TBI) that is recognized in Mississippi. It generally occurs when a person’s relationships with their loved ones are affected in a negative way due to the effects of a TBI. In order to receive compensation for a loss of relationships claim, the court must find that the TBI has caused the injured person to suffer a diminished ability to interact with their family, friends, and other intimate relationships. The court will examine all of the facts and circumstances surrounding the case to determine whether the injury has caused this negative impact. The court will consider a variety of factors, including the extent of the injury, the person’s age, the length of time the injury has been suffered, the effect of the injury on the person’s ability to handle day-to-day activities, and the amount of physical and emotional support the injured person has received from family and friends. The court must also decide whether the injured person has been able to preserve or repair a relationship with a loved one. This might include evidence that shows the injured person has sought out counseling or therapy for their injury, or that the injured person has sought out counseling or therapy to repair a relationship that was damaged by the injury. If the court decides that the injured person has suffered a diminished ability to interact with their family and friends due to the injury, then they may be awarded compensation for their loss of relationships.
