Most U.S. households cannot absorb an unexpected expense of $500, let  alone the double whammy of huge medical bills and loss of income. If  you are buried in debt because of ongoing health problems or a recent  medical crisis in the family, filing for bankruptcy could be the best  solution.

Our experienced bankruptcy  lawyers have helped many clients get out from under the crushing burden  of medical debt. Robert J. Adams & Associates handles Chapter 7 and  Chapter 13 consumer bankruptcies in Cook County and Lake County.

YES, MEDICAL BILLS CAN BE DISCHARGED

Medical  bills are unsecured debt. The hospital or doctor’s office can pursue  legal action, but your medical debts are not backed up by collateral.

• Unsecured  debts can be discharged (wiped clean) in a Chapter 7 bankruptcy. You  will not have to repay those debts and medical providers and insurance  companies cannot come after you.
• If you do not qualify  for Chapter 7 discharge of medical debts, you can get relief through  Chapter 13 bankruptcy, in which you make partial repayment over three or  five years.

Many Illinois  residents have no health insurance. Even if you have decent coverage,  you may be responsible for 20 to 30 percent of the costs, plus copays  and deductibles. This can quickly add up to tens of thousands of dollars  for a serious medical condition. The protections of bankruptcy can  cover ambulance bills, hospital bills, doctor’s bills, medical equipment  and other debts incurred because of health problems or an accident.

Many  people also max out their credit cards or take out payday loans to  cover medical hardships — those debts can also be discharged or deferred  in bankruptcy.
