Legal Question in Bankruptcy in Florida

my son may have a judgement placed against him for an automobile accident that he did carry bodily injury ins on. they may place a garnishment on his salary for 17,000 what the ins comp is suing for., he is not workiing at this time he is a college student but if this happens can he in the future claim bankruptcy and have this debt removed? We can not afford an attorney at this time to represent him and he has to go to mediation soon, although no one ws hurt at the time of the accident this man later claimed he was. We live in florida and his ins company did not tell him he needed bodily injury protection when he purchased it. How long would he have to wait if he could claim bankruptcy?

Based on what you've said, it sounds like he can file bankruptcy at any time and discharge (erase) the debt. In fact, he may have to. If he loses the lawsuit, they'll suspend his license.
