Yes, you can be sued while in Chapter 13 bankruptcy. However, the automatic stay that is triggered when you file for bankruptcy generally prevents most creditors from pursuing legal action against you for debts included in the bankruptcy. If a creditor attempts to sue you during this time, you can inform the court of your bankruptcy status, which may stop the lawsuit. It's important to consult with your bankruptcy attorney for specific guidance related to your situation.
