How Family Law Can Affect Personal Injury Claims
In some cases, family law issues can have a direct impact on the outcome of a personal injury claim. For example, if a person is injured in an accident and is married, their spouse may be entitled to a portion of the settlement. This is due to the fact that any money received from a personal injury claim is considered marital property in most states. Additionally, if the injured party is a minor, their parents or guardians may be entitled to a portion of the settlement. This is due to the fact that minors cannot enter into legal contracts and therefore any settlement must be approved by a court.How Personal Injury Claims Can Affect Family Law
In some cases, it is the personal injury claim that can have an impact on family law. For example, if a person is injured in an accident and is seeking compensation, they may be required to provide evidence of financial losses. This could include evidence of lost wages, medical bills, and other costs associated with the injury. These costs could have a direct impact on the outcome of a family law case, such as a divorce or child support case. In these cases, it is important to understand how the personal injury claim could impact the family law case.The Benefits of Working with a Lawyer Experienced in Both Family Law & Personal Injury
