61: What a PI Lawyer Needs To Know About Family Law. A conversation with Ron Brot.

What would happen if in the middle of a huge personal injury case, where there might be a huge recovery, the Plaintiff and their spouse decide to get divorced? What if a couple’s home burns down and in the middle of the lawsuit against the tortfeasor, they decide to call it quits as a couple? 

These are the fascinating intersections of family law and personal injury cases that we sometimes encounter. Brian and guest host Stephanie Charlin talk with Ronald Brot. Ron has been a respected family law attorney for over 30 years and is the immediate past president of the Los Angeles County Bar Association. 

We discuss what happens when you sign up a divorced couple as clients or when married clients split up in the middle of the case. Is the recovery still community property? What happens to the loss of consortium claim? Do you still work the case if they can’t agree to both be represented? What does “date of separation” really mean in family law? All these questions and more are answered.
