Irving, I am not sure of the difference.
The situation I saw was a while back. A young driver seriously injured a person in a car he hit.
The young man, over 21, declared bankruptcy.
At the first appearance, the bankruptcy judge or administrator informed him that the medical costs of the injured party would survive the bankruptcy and he would be liable.
That stuck with me.
I was just thinking that the most likely reason to be in court after a shooting would be to respond to a lawsuit by the injured survivor.
