Q: Can I write off hospital bills in bankruptcy?
A: Yes, medical bills are one of the most common debts we see in bankruptcy cases. See a local bankruptcy lawyer near you to see if bankruptcy would be a good option. Hope it works out. Good luck!
A: Yes you can but make sure you don't have a personal injury claim related to those medical bills because you could lose the money you might otherwise receive. If the hospital bills had no relationship to a personal injury potential case then bankruptcy is a good option for you.
A: Assuming that you are otherwise eligible for a bankruptcy discharge, your hospital bills may be discharged in bankruptcy.
A: Yes , you can discharge all unsecured debts at bankruptcy. Best of luck.
A: I agree with my colleagues' responses. I urge you to seek bankruptcy advice and assistance from a qualified bankruptcy attorney in your area.
