Okay here's my situation. A year ago I was in a car wreck (not my fault). I was under the impression it was settled with the other drivers insurance company. They paid for the car, asked for medical bills, and I ended up getting about $2000. I thought that was it. No one else ever contacted me about it and I'm dumb enough to not follow up.
Then a few months later I lost my job and ended up having to file chapter 7 in August. I am not discharged yet. All of my assets (new car, furniture) were taken back.
So we go back 2 weeks ago and I get a call from the insurance company telling me that I'm about to run out of time to settle my injury claim and that I need to give them any new info. I'm shocked, but go ahead and get a letter from my doctor and medical records. I send it to them and they offer me $10,000 and of course, I take it. I've yet to receive the check and I've told my lawyer about it and they haven't told me anything yet. Basically I'm worried about them taking this money from me because I'm still in the bankruptcy. I can't find any information online about it and my lawyer won't tell me anything. I honestly didn't know I was going to get anymore money. If I did I would have never filed.
Does anyone know what would happen in this type of situation? I'm just extremely paranoid right now because I have family telling me they're going to take the money and no one can give me any answers.
