I got a personal injury settlement, but rather then paying the medical bills with it (since it was so low) can i keep the money and file bankruptcy on the medical bills, since i already have to file anyway? Is this legal?
Im in ohio im aloud to keep 20,000 of a personal injury lawsuit i got just under 20,000. My question is can my lawyer take his 30% and give me my part and rather then pay the medical bills can I file bankruptcy on them along with everything else im already going to file on.
It sounds unethnical and immoral to me but I am just wondering what the laws are I have no intentions on committing any crimes. I just know that they said in ohio if you file bankruptcy you can keep $20,000 of any personal injury settlement or judgment so I wasn't sure if doing this was legal or not.
