    In this episode, Ryan Kalamaya is joined by seasoned trial lawyer, Philip Goldberg, to unpack how personal injuries and workers’ compensation claims are treated in Colorado divorces. They dive into the distinctions between personal injury awards and workers’ comp benefits, and how each can impact the division of assets in divorce proceedings.

    – Workers’ Compensation Explained: Discover how workers’ comp claims differ from personal injury claims, focusing on how Colorado uniquely handles these cases in the context of divorce.
    – Marital vs. Separate Property: Learn about the “analytic approach” used to determine what portion of a compensation claim is considered marital property and how this differs between personal injury and workers’ comp.
    – Impact on Divorce Settlements: Goldberg and Kalamaya discuss real-world applications, including how these funds are divided in a divorce and potential complications that arise from concurrent personal injury and workers’ comp claims.
