Only if you had also made a claim and if your claim was also settled.

Re: lawsuit settlement
It depends on who brought the claim, what the claim was about, whether you were a party to the suit or signed the release. You may have a claim that can be made. In the "typical" injury case, both husband and wife have a claim and both names should be on the check in the absence of there being a seperate agreement about a division of the funds.
