Pauline Millington v. Southeastern Elevator Co‪.‬

[22 N.Y.2d 498 Page 500] In 1965, Cyril H. Millington, the husband of the plaintiff, Pauline Millington, was 37 years old. He became completely paralyzed
from his waist down as a result of an elevator accident. His wife has brought this action for loss of consortium basing her
claim on the fact that her husband will spend the rest of his life as an invalid. She further alleges that this has caused
a radical change in their marriage and that this circumstance was due to the defendants' negligence, breach of warranty and
statutory violations.
