Yes. If you have a pending bankruptcy case or plan on filing bankruptcy, please contact us immediately. Bankruptcy can negatively affect your claim because it could become an asset for the bankruptcy trustee, who will then make all of the decisions regarding the settlement. And it could also affect how much you can recover personally, no matter how big your case, because there is a bankruptcy cap. Your failure to report a pending personal injury claim to the Bankruptcy Court could also result in severe sanctions against you, including the dismissal of your bankruptcy case as well as criminal charges. So your car accident attorney must be informed so that we may take appropriate steps to protect your interests. This can include helping you find a proper bankruptcy attorney who will not talk you into filing so that they can make a fee.
