Yes, just because a person has filed bankruptcy does not mean they are immune from lawsuits. Your may have problems collecting any settlement you may win, but the settlement will not be discharged and they will be forced to pay it when the time comes.

It may be even easier to win a judgment. If they did not include you in their bankruptcy, they will not be able to discharge the debt as easily and will be required to pay the amount they had previously promised to pay you plus court costs.

What happens to the garnishments after you filed bankruptcy?

If they were ordered by the court (i.e.: child support - back taxes - etc) you must still honor them, bankruptcy will not do away with court ordered liens. . Liens placed by private persons or businesses will have to take their place in your long line of creditors. As soon as you file, you take the papers from the bankruptcy court showing that you filed to your employer and the garnishment will stop. There are some exceptions to this.
