David Andrew Whittlesey, Petitioner v. Ann P. Miller, Respondent

October 11, 197822 Tex. Sup. Ct. J. 30

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court affirmed the Court of Civil Appeals, holding that either spouse may sue for loss of consortium when the other spouse is injured by a third party’s negligence, that a husband’s settlement does not bar the wife’s claim, that no double recovery occurs, and that the holding applies only to the present case and future actions.
