Judgment and bankruptcy

Posted on: 25th Apr, 2013 01:44 am
Hello there… I will be filing Chapter 7 very soon. There is a pending law suit against my name for a car accident. Now will I get that discharged in the bankruptcy or should I wait till the judgment of the lawsuit and then file BK?
As far as I know, if the accident did not happen due to your wilful and malicious conduct or if the accident was caused while you were impaired, then you will be able to get a discharge from it in bankruptcy.

Hi K,

Jerry is right in saying so. If the accident resulted due to no fault of yours, then you will be able to get a discharge from that case even. Speak to your bankruptcy attorney and take his opinion in this matter.
