What was the accident claim for? I doubt if she is entitled to any of it...but if she also suffered economically due to the "accident" then she may be.

If nothing of hers was damaged then no, she is not entitled to any share of that claim.

She would be entitled if any of the "winnings" were for loss of consortium, loss of society or something of that nature. She would not be entitled for compensatory damages for pain and suffering or payment of medical bills unless she originally paid the bills.

Depends on the nature of the accident. If it was a car accident, and the car itself was marital property, and part of the award is for the car, she could have a legitimate claim there.

However if it was something like a slip and fall...then I would agree with you. That is why I asked about the nature of the accident.

Sorry about that. Yes it was a car accident. As far as paying the bills it went through the insurance company so very little was spent so far. around $100.

Good point.
