having a work injury does not give a worker an exception to IRS rules on dependency; they are the same no matter the cause or the coverage.

Steve, to answer your question, it is yes she can. But, there is no benefit added on for her. been there done that before, and it is just a waste of time, and money to have someone prepare it correctly. Since you made a low income, you will get a better return. So File Taxes as you always have, and share it with her. Otherwise there isn't a Dollar benefit for her.

your question is one that is best handle in an IRS or tax related forum rather then one specializing in workers compensation
try one of the legal tax sites
