Re: ? Regarding bnkruptcy

Ask the bankruptcy attorney to send you a copy of the notice of bankruptcy. It will list the CASE NUMBER of the case and the date it was filed.

If the other driver filed bankruptcy YOU MUST release the garnishment.

You would then have to file a claim in bankruptcy court IN HER CASE for your damages. Depending on the type of case she filed you may get paid all, some or nothing.

Once you get her case information it would be easier to discuss.
