Can Bankruptcy Help With My DUI or Speeding Tickets?

Jun 14, 2017

Unfortunately, car accidents often result in more than just a broken tail light or dented bumper. The consequences of a motor vehicle accident, or even racking up too many tickets for speeding or driving with a suspended license, can often be financially devastating. Car accident damage might be covered by insurance (if you even have insurance!) but sometimes things happen and you end up staring down a mountain of bills for medical expenses, car repairs.  If you’ve ever been there, you might have wondered – can bankruptcy help me out of this mess?

You may have heard that bankruptcy can help you get a fresh start if you have old medical bills or credit card debt, but did you also know it might forgive debts from old court judgments and, in some cases, even help get your driver’s license back if it has been suspended?

If you have too many unpaid traffic citations or unpaid debts from a car accident, your driver’s license may be suspended.  Of course, having a suspended driver’s license makes it difficult to get to and from work, which makes it even harder to save money to pay off the judgment and get your license back.  So, what can you do?

Bankruptcy may be able help. Filing for bankruptcy may either allow you to discharge the debts entirely so that you can get your license back right away, or you may be able to get into an affordable monthly payment plan, based on your income, so that you can pay down those debts and return to driving more quickly.

If you’re curious about the different options that bankruptcy might offer to clear away debt and help you get your driver’s license back, please call Limitless Law at (360) 685-0145 to speak to a qualified attorney today.
