More details to this question:
The person i won small claims against cause extensive damage to my car. She would not exchange insurance information with me because it was on private property. But she went a purchased a newer car a few weeks after the incident. After the process of taking her to court and winning, I attempted to have her wages garnished. But in the last week she filed for bankruptcy and waiting for a hearing. Why wasn't she made accountable for providing insurance information? This would have prevented the wage garnishments.

Report her to the Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles. BMV can pull her license and plates for not having insurance. BMV can require her to pay you to get her license and plates back.
Other than contacting BMV, banruptcy eliminates the court judgment.
