In part one of this series, Divorce and Family partner Jenny Bowden and Personal Injury associate James Philpott considered the division of assets on divorce and treatment of personal injury damages in such circumstances. This second part will explore the practical steps that can be taken to protect personal injury awards with the intention of preserving the funds for the injured person’s future needs.

Personal injury damages are awarded to restore an injured person as closely as possible to the position they were in before their injury. They are not intended to be shared or used for other purposes. However, it is the injured person’s prerogative (provided they have the capacity to manage their finances) to spend their compensation award on whatever they wish.
