Under Michigan law, employees cannot sue their employers or fellow staff members for accidents that happen in the workplace.

Maybe the lawyers here are being smart about this.

1. Family of deceased employee wants to sue the employer for $15M.

2. Michigan law does not allow them to do this, so they sue the owner of the vehicle.

3. Michigan law DOES allow a customer to sue a business establishment, so the insurance carrier for the vehicle owner files a third-party claim for contribution from the business owner.

4. The family of the deceased gets $15M from the vehicle owner. The vehicle owner gets $15M from the business owner to cover his loss. Justice is done.

THE END.

One would hope your scenario is how it would play out.
