Can civil judgments be included in a bankruptcy?

Answer by  CLV66 (73)

If the civil judgment was for something like medical expenses or credit card collections, it can generally be included. But if it was for something like damages caused by drunk driving, battery, etc. , then it may or may not be dischargeable, so an attorney should be consulted for your particular jurisdiction.

Civil judgments for personal injury, unpaid debts which are not secured by real estate or an automobile, can be discharged in a bankruptcy proceeding. However, civil judgments for fraud, intentional torts, or money taken out as a cash advance within a 6 to 12 month lookback period provided the creditor files an objection with the Bankruptcy court cannot be discharged.
