The only possible reason for an electricution accident

In all other cases it is someone’s fault. Most electricution accidents are caused by ungrounded electric-powered appliances or other machines, so it is usually clear that someone who is responsible for maintaining them made a mistake and thus gave some work for electricution accident lawyers.

In Chapter 7 or ‘straight’ bankruptcy, the applicant surrenders all non-exempt property and assets to an appointed bankruptcy official. These are converted into cash and the proceeds are disbursed to the applicant’s creditors.
This process of liquidation then results in the applicant being freed of all financial obligations within a short period usually not exceeding four months. Obviously, this provision has seen a lot of abuse in the past. The new laws now state that an individual cannot re-apply for Chapter 7 bankruptcy unless he/she has been given discharge from a previous filing for it for at least eight years.
In applying for Chapter 13 bankruptcy, the applicant indicates that he/she intends to repay his/her debts over a period of time. This period may vary from three to five years. Chapter 13 bankruptcy is the preferred kind for applicants who cannot prove complete and irreversible financial insolvency, meaning that they [...] Continue Reading…

US Government recently approved a bill that brought about some major changes in the bankruptcy laws on April 20, 2005. The bill is called the “The Bankruptcy Abuse Prevention and Consumer Protection Act of 2005″. As per this bill, about 25 changes have been made in the existing bankruptcy laws. However, since it takes at least 6 months from the time the bill is passed for it to be put into action, only some parts of the law have become effective. Hence, all the rest of the new laws are yet to be put into effect.
It’s a common expert opinion that these new laws will definitely narrow the possibilities of filing a bankruptcy using Chapter 7. The court will decide on whether the debtor can file under chapter 7 or has the only option of filing under Chapter 13. In this case the debtor will have to compulsorily [...] Continue Reading…

When someone has high debt and no other feasible financial mode of repayment, they may need a fresh start in form of a bankruptcy.
People file for Chapter 7 bankruptcy more often than any other type of bankruptcy, and it accounts for almost 65% of all consumer bankruptcy filings.
A Chapter 7 bankruptcy is often also preferred to a liquidation or a straight bankruptcy. The process of liquidation transfers one’s possessions to funds. This course of action necessitates the appointment of a trustee. The court assigns a trustee who accumulates all non-exempt material goods, put them up for sale and the money he so collects is distributed among the appropriate creditors. On the other hand, contrasting to other bankruptcy filings, a debtor is not required to make any payments to the trustee.
Debtors many now wonder if they will lose all of their assets. The answer cannot be put in a [...] Continue Reading…
