A:
You do not necessarily have to file for bankruptcy to get your driver's license back. The suspension of your license likely stems from the debt owed due to the accident. There are options you can explore to address this debt without going through bankruptcy.
You may consider negotiating a payment plan with the creditor to pay off the judgment over time. Often, courts or creditors are willing to work with you if you show a genuine effort to make payments, which could lead to the reinstatement of your license.
It’s also a good idea to check with the Colorado Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) to understand what specific steps they require for reinstatement. There may be additional forms or procedures that could help you navigate this situation. Getting in touch with a legal professional can provide guidance tailored to your specific circumstances.
