Legal Question in Family Law in Texas

Divorce/Lawsuit

My husband broke his back in 2004. This past year the metal in his back collapsed which required more surgery. He is in a large lawsuit with the maker of the metal. His medical is filed under my employer and is deducted from my paycheck on a bi-monthly basis. I filed for divorce in March of 2007 and my divorce is still not final. Am I am entitled to any portion of this lawsuit.
