You may have a claim for workers compensation and also a claim against the Yellow Cab, if you copied the license number or a police report was filed. However, if you sue the cab company that would be in NY if that was where the accident happened. Also you will have to deal with the insurance company representing most of the yellow cabs and they are very difficult to deal with. So if you work in NJ, you may have a workers comp case here, but the auto accident case would have to be filed in NY if that was where you had your accident.

If you were driving a company car, and were in the process of doing your job, this is a worker's compensation case that you should be pursuing. Good luck to you !
