Fort Wayne, Indiana, Bankruptcy Lawyer
Unfortunately, medical bills and bankruptcy go together all too well. The rising costs of health care in our country have led to financial ruin for hundreds of thousands of families across the country. Even if you have health insurance, a serious illness can hurt your finances. In many cases, deductibles, copayments or expenses that are not covered by your insurer can overwhelm your budget.
If a personal illness or an illness to an immediate family member is leading to severe financial problems, bankruptcy may provide a way out. Jeffrey S. Arnold, Attorney at Law, P.C., has advised many families about what to do if a lengthy illness has led to financial problems. Contact our firm today to discuss your situation.
Some people sell their assets or spend what they have saved for retirement in order to pay medical bills. It does not necessarily have to be this way. Most medical bills are unsecured debts, meaning that they can be discharged in a Chapter 7 filing. If you own a home or substantial assets, filing Chapter 13 bankruptcy will allow you to pay a portion of your medical bills over a three- to five-year period. At the end of the repayment period, your medical bills would be discharged.
