What If The Car Wreck Defendant Files Bankruptcy?
We are bombarded daily with images and statistics about the economy going south. We all feel it in our daily lives. This means more and more people are going to be filing for Bankruptcy protection. Including, sometimes, the defendant who you have sued in a car wreck case. What happens?
Often our clients think this is the end. The case is over. That is not normally the case. John Bratt has an excellent blog post about a recent experience he had in Maryland which is basically the same experience that occurs in Alabama, particularly in the Bankruptcy court in Birmingham (Jefferson County).
So if your defendant in a car wreck case files bankruptcy remember its not the end of the world - hopefully it is just a minor delay.
