I currently live in WV, but was involved in an auto accident in Virginia in 2009. I was not aware that my insurance had ran out until I called to submit a claim (I was going through a divorce and had moved, a lot). There was a judment placed against me for damages, which I have been paying $100/mo. towards. Today when I had inquired about the balance, I was told that I still owe $8,002.86 on the PD and $16,068.80 for BI (This is the first that I've even heard about the BI portion!), and this is subject to 6% interest. I have been considering the idea of Bankruptcy for a while, as I was stuck w/a considerable amount of debt as result of my disasterous first marriage, but my question is, can this judgement be dismissed in a Bankruptcy?
