Re: Filing bankruptcy on a legal judgement
If it was a drunken-driving accident, no. That is not dischargeable in bankruptcy. He would have to pay that judgment.
If it was NOT a drunken-driving accident, yes. He can file for bankruptcy protection on the debt, and you're out of luck.
Sorry. That's probably not what you wanted to hear.
