You Think You Have a NY Medical Malpractice Case But May Need to File Ba...

You can't pay your bills.
You can't pay your mortgage.
Your creditors keep calling every day.
You're on the verge of declaring bankruptcy.

At the same time you believe that a doctor or hospital did not treat you properly and caused significant injury. What do you do?

If you declare bankruptcy, you must list all of your "assets" in your bankruptcy petition. This is a sworn statement to the bankruptcy court declaring all the things you own including any lawsuits or potential lawsuits.

If, while your bankruptcy matter was pending, you then went ahead and filed a medical malpractice lawsuit seeking compensation for your injuries without first getting special permission from the bankruptcy court, that would have devastating consequences for your malpractice case.

Let's turn that situation around.

Let's assume that you started a medical malpractice case first.
Shortly after starting your malpractice lawsuit in New York, you realized you needed to file bankruptcy since you were out of work as a result of your injuries and had no way to support yourself or your family. In that instance, you would be required to list your medical malpractice lawsuit as an "asset" of your bankruptcy estate.
