Yes, both a personal injury claim and a workers compensation claim may be made when an on the job injury involves a motor vehicle collision. Workers Compensation claims do not compensate for pain and suffering, only the medical and economic (wage) losses involved.

This is complicated. If you were on the job when this happened you get workers comp. If the driver worked for the same entity as you, you probably cannot sue the driver. If the driver worked for a different entity you may be able to sue the driver. I need more info.
