Steps to Take if You’re Facing a Lawsuit
If you’re involved in or worried about a lawsuit, bankruptcy can help, but careful planning is essential:
Consult a bankruptcy attorney quickly – Understand how filing affects your case.
Gather all court documents – Complaints, judgments, and settlement info help your attorney and trustee.
Check if the debt is dischargeable – Credit card or medical debts may be wiped out; fraud, taxes, or support usually are not.
Consider timing – Filing before a judgment may stop wage garnishment or liens.
Disclose everything honestly – List all pending or potential lawsuits to avoid losing rights.
Plan for the future – Know whether the debt will be erased, restructured, or remain after bankruptcy.
These steps protect your rights, keep options open, and help bankruptcy provide a true fresh start.
