Bankruptcy - Chapter 7 vs Chapter 13
Our law office specializes in Chapter 7 & Chapter 13 Bankruptcies. For almost 40 years, we have been providing Hope of Financial Freedom to those under a financial burden of Debt and Creditors.
What is the difference between Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 Bankruptcy?
A Chapter 7 bankruptcy is known as a "clean start" bankruptcy. It allows you to discharge most of your debts, while keeping your exempt property. No monthly payments are required. Chapter 13 is known as a wage earner's plan. It is an alternative to a Chapter 7. Chapter 13 involves making payments on your debts over 60 months; in return, you are allowed to keep most, if not all, of your property. At the conclusion of the payments, your unsecured debts are discharged; your secured debts, if still unpaid are not discharged. You must have regular income to file a Chapter 13.
How do I determine whether to file Chapter 7 or Chapter 13?
Although there are many considerations as to whether to file under one or the other chapters, your eligibility to file chapter 7 is controlled by a median income test, means (income) test and a totality of the circumstances test. Generally, if your household income falls below the median income for your state, then you may file chapter 7. Even if it does not you may still qualify but only after analysis of your household income and living expenses. Unfortunately, the criteria mandated by the new bankruptcy law is so involved that any further discussion of the test is not possible here. Normally you should file Chapter 7 unless you have a lot of valuable unsecured or non-mortgaged property that you wish to keep. Chapter 13 is especially helpful if you have in excess of $15,000.00 in equity in your home and you wish to keep it.

Worker's Compensation Claims
Missouri Workers' Compensation is for the benefit of the Employee and the Employer. It mandates that the Employer take care of its injured employees hurt on the job. In return the employee cannot sue the Employer or co-workers for acts of negligence. All disputes over benefits are resolved by a judicial tribunal known as the Division of Workers' Compensation, by its Administrative Law Judges.
