A medical bankruptcy attorney can be a lifeline when you are facing the double assault of illness and debt. A serious illness alone is devastating; it becomes impossible when you have to shoulder astronomical treatment costs you cannot afford.

For 20 years we have helped people make a fresh start and find their way out of crushing debt.  When should you call us?

• You are unable to afford health costs not covered by insurance. For example, if you have a $50,000 operation, most insurance companies only pay for $40,000. You are responsible for the $10,000 remainder. Cash-strapped families cannot afford such a burden. 
• Your treatment costs exceed your policy’s total coverage limits. If your insurance only pays expenses up to $1 million, and ongoing treatment exceeds that, you are responsible for the rest.
• You have no insurance and face expensive medical treatment. Unless you meet certain requirements, you are on the hook for hospital costs. People in this situation usually have no recourse but filing for bankruptcy.

Medical bankruptcy is often a last resort for people. In today’s spiraling health care cost environment, more families than ever are caught by surprise in a medical emergency. The high cost of getting sick or injured can destroy families who live paycheck to paycheck. It even breaks the banks of people who have solid finances, and those who can afford co-pays and deductibles.

Our highly skilled medical bankruptcy legal team offers a fresh start and true relief for people who qualify. The options are Chapters 7 or 13 bankruptcy.  Medical debt is a recognized reason for seeking legal protection from creditors – in this case a hospital or other care center.

Medical bankruptcy is a far more common occurrence than you might think – as many as half of all personal bankruptcies involve medical costs to some degree. Traditionally, people have viewed bankruptcy as a great shame, but the picture has changed in recent times. While some people are indeed irresponsible with their money, others face unforeseen expenses that are simply unmanageable no matter how careful they are.

Medical bankruptcy is just such a case: No one ever expects a tragic accident, a diagnosis of cancer, or other health crisis. And very, very few people can sit down and write a check for $10,000, $50,000, $100,000 or more to pay for treatment.

Whatever your health care burden, please act quickly. The earlier you get legal help, the greater your chances of salvaging your finances. Do not wait until you get behind on bills or get collection notices.
