My husband was in a car accident. We got a settlement check of 34,000.00 written in both of our names. He claims that the money is his money. My name was only on the check because I covered everyone for health insurance. Am I entitled to some portion?

the answer changes rom state to state. in CA insurance companies want to put the name hte noninjured spouse on the check so that they can avoid a claim made by hte noninjured spouse or loss of consortium. check the realise, ur name was probibly on htat too. And, they woudnt put ur name on a check simply cuz u bought health insurance. I it were a healthinsurance issue they would have put the name o the health insurance company on the check becuase the health insureance company is generally intitled to reimbersmant of the money it payed out on acoutnt of the people injured in the accident. so, in the long run if ur state follows the same rules as does calfornia and without concidering rules of cumunity property or other marital property rules, you would have a right to the money or aportion to the money only i u brought a claim or loss o consortion. at this stage it just looks like an insurancecopany playing games tho. this is not intended as legal advice and no atterny client relationship is created u should consult an atterny in your jurisdiction.
