Personal Injury Compensation and Divorce
Being injured in a personal injury accident and going through a divorce are two things no one ever wants to go through. But many people have the burden of dealing with these two very difficult events, and sometimes at the same time.
Frequently the injured spouse wants to know if they must share part of their personal injury settlement, and the other spouse wants to know if they will receive part of the settlement. For example, if the claim arose from a car accident and the claim is close to settling, that money may become part of a divorce settlement.
