Bankruptcy and Personal Injury
I was discharged with chapter7
bankruptcy in Oct. 2007, but am still
involved with a personal injury
lawsuit centered on my fall at
work(Aug. 2006). The latter
necessitated prolonged
unemployment as a surgeon, recent
back surgery and depletion of all
retirement funds. I am still
responsible for spousal support, child
support and back IRS debt. I
understand that any award from the
lawsuit would be considered estate
assets, and available for my trustee. I
am apparently expected to continue
spending time, money and personal
resources with both attorneys, etc. to
follow thru, and should not expect
any re-imbursement, or say in
distribution of settlement. What is
fair here, and who is working for
whom?
