Frequently Asked Questions
Can medical debt be discharged through bankruptcy in Miami?
Yes — medical debt is an unsecured obligation and is fully dischargeable in Chapter 7 bankruptcy filed in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Florida. For many Miami-Dade residents, medical bills from hospitalizations, surgeries, or chronic care are the single largest driver of unmanageable debt. Chapter 7 wipes out qualifying medical balances completely upon discharge, provided the filer passes the means test and the debt was not incurred through fraud.
What is the 341 meeting of creditors and what happens at it?
The 341 meeting is a required hearing held 21 to 40 days after a bankruptcy petition is filed in the Southern District of Florida. It takes place at the Claude Pepper Federal Building, 51 SW First Avenue, Miami. The bankruptcy trustee asks the debtor questions under oath about their assets, debts, and the accuracy of their petition. The meeting typically lasts 5 to 15 minutes in straightforward consumer cases, and creditors are notified but rarely appear.
How does bankruptcy affect a personal injury claim in Florida?
A personal injury lawsuit or settlement becomes an asset of the bankruptcy estate when a case is filed. Florida exempts up to $1,000 in personal property generally, but there is no specific personal injury exemption under state law. Payments specifically for personal bodily injury — not property damage or economic loss — may be partially exempt under federal non-bankruptcy exemptions. Miami-Dade residents with a pending injury claim should disclose it to their bankruptcy attorney before filing to avoid having the claim claimed by the trustee.
