Since the vehicle owner will likely only recover the costs of cleaning the vehicle, a suit is unlikely in light of the cost of filing fees. On the other hand the cabbie is in the business of picking up anyone, in order to gate fares, without screening the people allowed into the cab. They may need to take what they get unless there is some negligence or malfeasance that can be proven. People who have been drinking call cabs.

Being named as an excluded driver means that you are not covered as the driver, and are not allowed to drive that vehicle. It doesn't mean that you can't be a passenger in the vehicle. If you were a passenger and were injured your injuries should still be covered under the insurance (whether or not the driver was your employer). If you were working at the time you may be eligible for workers compensation, also, but at the least your injuries should be covered.
