Let’s clear something up real quick.
I hear this all the time:
“My lawyer told me if I file bankruptcy I can’t get my accident money.”
Respectfully… that’s not correct.
Bankruptcy does NOT automatically take your injury settlement.
What actually happens is this:
Some firms sit on injury cases for years while clients:
• can’t work
• bills pile up
• credit gets destroyed
Then the client ends up filing bankruptcy anyway.
Meanwhile they’ve lost valuable time and leverage on their injury claim.
At Law Office of Kimberly S. Sweeney, PLLC, we do things differently.
Because we handle bankruptcy AND personal injury, we know how to:
✔ properly disclose injury claims
✔ protect compensation when possible
✔ keep your case moving so you’re not financially drowning
And yes — our bankruptcy clients have recovered money from their accident claims.
You don’t have to choose between getting out of debt and being compensated for your injuries.
You can do both.
