Re: who is responsible for on the job injury
No, that is not correct. If your son-in-law was injured on the job, he should file a claim for workman's compensation and the insurance carrier
providing the workman's compensation coverage for your son's employer should bear the costs of his medical treatment rather than his wife's insurance carrier.
