Your husband needs to see a workers compensation attorney who also handles, what is referred to as, "132a" cases. This is where employers discriminate against persons who get hurt on the job.
Your husband likely has a worker's compensation claim. However, it sounds as if the employer wishes to operate as having independant contactors rather than employess. Therefore the employer has probably thought that it could avoid worker's compensation insurance. How is your husband's back? Has he seen a doctor? Contact me directly.
