West Virginia Supreme Court December 19, 1990, 19566 (Belcher v. Goins)

McHUGH, Justice:

The primary issue presented in this case is whether this jurisdiction recognizes a child’s claim for loss or impairment of parental consortium, against a tortfeasor for nonfatal, negligently inflicted injuries sustained by the parent. We believe the Circuit Court of McDowell County answered the certified questions correctly in part and incorrectly in part.
