I have a pending personal injury lawsuit. If I file bankruptcy and then recover money from the case will I be able to keep it?

Your case would become an asset in the bankruptcy estate.  Any recovery could be collected by the bankruptcy trustee, absent any exemptions.  You should contact a local bankruptcy attorney to determine what exemptions you would have available to preserve the largest lawsuit damages recovery possible.
