You and your attorney should make sure the defendant's counsel and/or a Trustee appointed to administer the defendant employer's bankruptcy estate know about your claims. Debtors are required to file schedules and a statement of financial affairs, listing all of their assets and liabilities. You should check the schedules to make sure that you are listed as a creditor, and that the debtor has accurately characterized the claim. Your attorney can tell you how to do this or will do it for you.
If the debtor fails to list you as a creditor on its schedules or statement of financial affairs filed with the bankruptcy court, you will not receive notice of the bankruptcy proceedings. To correct this problem, you must notify the court of your interest, and request notice of all proceedings in the case, by requesting to be added to the mailing matrix for the case.
