Filing for Bankruptcy: Can You Keep Money Paid During Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 Bankruptcy?
If you have a lawsuit against someone or otherwise have a claim against someone such as a personal injury claim, breach of contract claim, or medical malpractice claim, if you file
Chapter 7 bankruptcy, the Chapter 7 trustee may be able to keep any compensation you receive in the future for such a claim with the money to be distributed to your creditors. In a
Chapter 13 bankruptcycase, if the claim is settled during the bankruptcy, then the monies paid for the claim must be turned over to the Chapter 13 trustee for distribution to the creditors.
