Divorce and personal injury claims:
Injury claims can be adversely affected by filing divorce. Generally,
personal items of damage (physical and emotional harm) are the sole
property of victims. Other items of damage (lost income, lost
employment, lost companionship and society) affect husbands, wives, and
children. When a marriage is dissolved while a personal injury lawyer is
pursuing a recovery, special attention is necessary to avoid future
conflicts. Is cooperation at trial possible between ex husbands and
wives? Can spouses agree on the classification of damages and division
of proceeds in the event of the settlement of injury claims? These
difficult issues greatly affect the potential amount recovered when a
potential plaintiff in an injury lawsuit files for divorce. To resolve
these issues, personal injury lawyers usually consult with family law
attorneys to draft custom settlement clauses and agreements between
spouses. The best time to reach these agreements is while both potential
courts (family law & injury) retain jurisdiction. For further
