💨 Abstract

The Karnataka High Court has ruled that adult children of a deceased person can claim compensation under the "loss of consortium" category, along with the spouse. This category covers the emotional and familial void left by the deceased. The court ordered that the wife and two adult sons of a man who died in a road accident should each receive Rs 52,000, totaling Rs 1.56 lakh.
