Re: can I sue husbands ex employer

This likely depends on whether or not your husband had worker's compensation coverage. If he did, he likely cannot sue his employer, which means you cannot sue the employer either. If there is no worker's compensation coverage (or a contractual right to sue regardless of coverage) then you likely can sue. This email is not intended to provide legal advise as there is no attorney-client privledge.
