It depends. If you filed a Chapter 7 before, you can file again 8 years from the filing date of the prior Chapter 7. You can file a Chapter 13 if your prior Chapter 7 was filed more than 2 years ago. Congress tacked on another year between 7 filing.

Can bankruptcy end a civil debt?

Giovanni Orantes
Answered by attorney Giovanni Orantes (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Orantes Law Firm
It depends. If there is any finding that the there was some intention in the accident, the insurance companies may be able to file a complaint for the Court to rule their claims non-dischargeable. If there was no intention or gross negligence, for example, it is likely that it would be discharged along with all other debts. However, that does not happen automatically and the insurance companies need to make a cost-benefit analysis to figure out if it is worthwhile to pursue such a complaint as it involves retaining an attorney and going all the way through trial if you defend, which can be quite expensive for everyone involved. It most likely would cost more than $14,600 and then the creditor has to worry about whether such judgment can be collected from you.
