If you get the settlement sfter discharge you get to keep everything.
If you get the settlement before discharge you have to give up the loss of earnings |

yea i was allowed to keep my car when i went bankrupt as it wasnt worth much!so if i get compensation for personal injuries they wont touch this?How can they take my loss of earnings if i need this to pay bills!?(i have no surplus with my wages!)
So if i get the settlement before im discharged what happens then? |

If the car was exempted then the OR will not take that money, they also will not take any compensation to you for persnal injury, They can take any money for loss of earnings.
Given that the accident was after the bankruptcy order, then you only need to give up the money if the case is settled prior to discharge |
