When you are strapped financially, what can make matters even worse is a lawsuit. If you are having a lawsuit filed against you, you are likely going to have to pay large sums. In the event that you cannot afford to pay the terms of the lawsuit then you may very well have to file for bankruptcy. For example, if you were involved in a car accident that you caused and another person was injured as a result, you would likely have to pay for that person's injuries if they filed a personal injury lawsuit against you. Depending on the severity of the injuries, that payment could be fairly large.
Many people also find themselves in the midst of financial struggles when going through a divorce. If you cannot afford to pay your alimony or child support, you will not be able to get those debts remediated by bankruptcy. You will, however, be able to get other debts discharged which can free you up to be able to pay your divorce obligations. Any type of lawsuit that you may be facing can leave you with no other choice than to file for bankruptcy. The good news is that bankruptcy is actually helpful, and a good option for many people.
