Medical Bills

Unexpected medical bills have the potential to destroy nearly anyone’s financial situation. Medical care is expensive, and the bills can quickly pile up, leaving well-intentioned individuals with stacks of unpaid doctor and hospital bills. If you have accumulated significant medical debt that you are unable to pay or that has resulted in you being unable to pay your other bills, Chapter 7 bankruptcy may be a viable option for getting rid of those bills.

At the DiTocco Law Group, PLLC, our knowledgeable staff provides personalized debt discharge services to clients throughout Broward County and Palm Beach County. Our South Florida bankruptcy attorney, Tony DiTocco, works hard to help you accomplish your debt relief goals.

Discharging Medical And Hospital Bill Debt Under Chapter 7 Bankruptcy

Chapter 7 bankruptcy allows for unsecured debts to be eliminated. Medical and hospital bill debts are considered unsecured debt — they can be eliminated in Chapter 7 bankruptcy. Unsecured debt is the type of debt that is essentially not tied to any property. A home loan, for example, is not dischargeable, because the loan is attached to a home.
