Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of the State of New York December 21, 1981 (DeAngelis v. Lutheran Medical Center)

OPINION OF THE COURT

Gibbons, J.

The issue on these appeals is whether a child has a cause of action for the loss of parental consortium for injuries negligently inflicted on the parent by third parties. After a review of the considerable arguments that have been generated on both sides of the question, we conclude that no such cause of action should be recognized.
