In theory you can be sued. Anyone can sue anyone. If you are, send it to your insurance company. If you have no insurance, you will likely not be sued.
You are entitled to worker’s compensation benefits but you can also sue the co-worker, however you cannot sue the employer

The short answer is 'no' - your personal injury settlement is not exempt from garnishment or money judgment. There may be a way to shield that money from creditors but it would require a more personalized answer. Please feel free to contact our firm at www.RosenbergFirm.com
No, not at all.
Are you divorcing? Please re-post with more details.
There hasn't been any signs of neglect or abuse found in my house, even though my mother tried to kick me out. The case is supposed to be closed, obviously, but they won't close it.
Apparently, they have been following me around and they tapped into my phone when it was taken away... Read more »

Our dog died a sudden, senseless, and tragic death at the hands of a negligent veterinarian. We are aware that the veterinarian violated standards of case for several reasons. We have a necropsy report, toxicology report, and an expert witness veterinarian opinion letter. This not about money - it... Read more »
I’m cautious whenever people say its “not about money” because the reality is that an attorney’s time is their stock in trade, and time is money. There is small claims court for folks with initiative but without money, and if you get the Judgment it vindicates you!! But if you want a... Read more »

He has video proof, has taken it to the police and was blackmailed by these people. He also made sure friend was also on FaceTime to witness it.. will the friend have to stand witness?
The “will witness have to go to court” will depend on the situation. Criminal cases will depend on the Prosecutor. Civil cases, a witness generally cannot be compelled to testify.
I couldn't fully type the question above but I want to know if the hairdresser is liable if the actual color causes hair damage or personal injury (not coronavirus). Can we have them sign a waiver that would exempt us from being held liable?
It depends on where you live, what’s the executive order or rule is regarding this, and whether you got the coronavirus and Got sick or died, and whether you can prove that this was caused by the product you purchased.
Doing research for a class project
It does not seem like something that would expressly be spelled out in any statute or code. But you should still research and check municipal codes and ordinances (including those written by FDNY) to be certain. If after diligently checking, you find no such provisions, you could consider including... Read more »
