Insurance claim paid to two parties when separated and 2nd party will not sign check.

Question Details: After being separated for 1-2 months, I was a victim of pharmacy malpractice which nearly killed me. The pharmacy filed a claim with their insurance company with me as the sole complainant. I settled with the insurance company several days ago, but they insisted on putting my wife's name on the check,even though she had 0% involvement. She refused to endorse the check out of spite, rendering my settlement completely worthless. The insurance agent stated that by law, both parties were required to be on the check. Is the agent wrong in putting her name on the check? He was told she wouldn't sign
