Nothing you describe would stop you from filing bankruptcy. But if the fault in the accident was from driving under the influence, you may not be able to discharge this debt in a Chapter 7 bankruptcy.

As long as you weren't driving drunk or high, the debt from the auto accident will be discharged.

Most likely you could discharge it, but there are a few limited exceptions. You need to talk to a lawyer about it.

Yes, you can file bankruptcy and wipe out the debt, unless you were driving under the influence at the time.
