It sounds like there are potentially two cases, one for workers compensation and the other against the at-fault driver of the cab who hit your husband.

We need more information about the accident in order to provide a more definitive answer to your question. You may contact our office toll free at (800) 209-4000.

You need to speak with an attorney. It sounds like you may have a few different claims. You can receive compensation from your husband's employer and possibly from the driver who hit him. Please call me to discuss your matter further. (866) MICHDUI
