Does my husband's name go on the settlement check?

Many insurance companies will ask that your husband's name be on the settlement check . This is because a spouse has a separate claim for injury to their wife or husband. If that was not taken into consideration when the amount was agreed upon , then you should either renegotiate for that loss of consortium claim , or explain that you only settled your claim and not your husband's claim. The insurance company is trying to get something for nothing when they add a separate claim to the mix. If your husband did not hire your lawyer for his claim, then your lawyer should not be allowing the insurance company to place his name on the settlement check.
