OPINION OF THE COURT
(August 18, 2016)
Swan, Associate Justice.
Appellant, Bertram Inniss, appeals the Superior Court’s decision, which concluded that his settlement payment emanating from a civil lawsuit for personal injuries he sustained in an automobile accident was marital property. The Superior Court further concluded that, since the personal injury settlement award was marital property, his spouse at the time of the injury was entitled to a portion of the settlement payment in the parties’ divorce action. For the reasons explicated below, we reverse.
