Your question is not sufficiently specific to answer. Are you the employer? More info is needed.
Re: work injury
I agree with Mr. Roth.
This question cannot be answered based on the facts as you state them.
You need to be more specific.

Typically, if a party is being sued, financial information cannot be sought regarding whether the person can satisfy the debt. If there is a judgment against that party, then a debtor's examination can take place at which the judgment creditor can inquire into all areas of financial assets and liabilities. Good luck!

As you can see from the responses, your questiion if very confused. You must make a claim for WC within a year of knowing you suffered a WC injury or the payment of benefits. That bears no relationship to a civil suit. With a few exceptions, civil suits can not be filed by employees against their employers or co-workers, whether or not an active WC claims still exists.
Soyou need to rephrase your questiion by giving us a summary of the facts and what your concern is.
