A: The short is answer is yes. Assuming that you were injured while working, you should be entitled to workers' compensation, unless your employer fits within one of the exceptions. Regardless, from the looks of it, you have a combination workers' compensation claim and a personal injury claim against the other driver. I would highly encourage you to reach out to an experienced workers' comp and PI lawyer to further discuss, as these things are time sensitive.
