Loss of consortium rights clarified in Iowa ruling
The Iowa Supreme Court ruled that loss of consortium claims by Harold Toepfer's wife Laura and son Scott should be dismissed only because such claims must be filed by the deceased's administrator, not by relatives. The decision extends child recoveries beyond age 18 and equates spouses and children in deserving compensation. Justice Wolfe dissented, urging legislative change rather than judicial action.
