Legal Question in Bankruptcy in Florida

I won a judgement againt an individual for falure to return a deposit ($20,000). During the 3 years it tok to litigate this the person declared bankruptcy and closed his corporation. Here is my question, does the bankruptcy eliminate my claim to all the judgement, only the original 20,000 but not the damages, or am I still entitled to the full amount since the amount was not declared on the bankruptcy?
