If a driver's license is suspended due to a claim for civil damages arising out of an accident, filing a bankruptcy case under either Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 will normally result in the suspension being lifted and the license reinstated. The purpose of the license suspension in those cases is to force payment of a debt, and bankruptcy stops all actions to collect a debt.
Of course, there may be circumstances, or some jurisdictions, where this general rule would not apply. Always consult with an experienced, qualified bankruptcy attorney before making a decision about filing. Don't use an inexperienced attorney or try to go it alone. GET QUALIFIED HELP.
