Legal Question in Personal Injury in New York

Are corporations protected against personal injury suits? I have a judgement for 75000 and they have not replied about asset or anything else. They should not get away with negligence that caused injury.

Corporations are created to protect its ownerss from personal liability (with some excxeptions). If you have a judgment and the corp is still in business then you can collect your judgment (assuming it has assets left). If they had insurance then they would cover it. If not, then you can only collect through any existing assets (assuming the company still exists and has assets). You would need to contact the sheriff or marshall to start those proceedings.

No. Are they still in business or have they dissolved? Do they have assets? I do collection of judgment law in NY and Fla.
