Notes of Decisions

Loss of consortium claim is one of legally cognizable damages resulting from injury to person and is not separate bodily injury resulting to claimant. Teply v. Ballard, 142 Or App 574, 922 P2d 1236 (1996)

Where plaintiff was uninjured passenger in first vehicle involved in accident with second vehicle, then injured when third vehicle later struck first vehicle, number of accidents that occurred is question of fact decided by whether injuries resulted from initial event or cause only or whether initial event was interrupted by other events or causes. Wright v. Turner, 354 Or 815, 322 P3d 476 (2014)
