Re: third party
Only if both spouses have damage claims, or if the claims are based on the loss of a community asset. So, if the damage is based on one spouse's personal injury for instance, then only the spouse suffering the damage can collect. If part of the damage is for lost wages, then those wages are community assets during the existence of the community.
