Q: If a case has been awarded 2 the defendant and the claimant is trying to renege on the payment by paying less or bankr
A:
An Arkansas attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for two weeks. It isn't fully clear what happened here because part of your post might have gotten left off. It looks like you were the defendant in a civil claim where the tables turned and the original claimant was found liable to you - but they are trying to pay less or threatening with bankruptcy? It looks like that might be a possibility based on the description.
If that's what happened, you could first explore whether payment is possible through their insurance carrier. You post this under Car Accidents, and if there is insurance available and they concede to the decision, that could be the cheapest route for you to go with. If insurance is not an available route, you could reach out to local attorneys who deal with collection/judgments of civil matters and discuss what your best and most cost-effective options are. Good luck
