Glendale and Los Angeles-Area Medical Bills Attorney
Overwhelming medical bills are usually caused by catastrophic illness not covered by health insurance. If this happens to you, the results can be devastating. Filing bankruptcy is often required in order to get out from under medical debt and make a fresh start.

At Leventhal Law Group, P.C., I assist clients who are buried under mountains of medical bill debt. I help them file either Chapter 7 or Chapter 11 bankruptcy to discharge or reorganize their debts. People may have taken out a second mortgage to try to pay their bills. They may have become unable to work because of their illness, and lost their jobs and their insurance coverage. Their insurance company may have wrongfully dropped them after their diagnosis. They may have never had health insurance and were highly vulnerable to a financial catastrophe resulting from a serious illness. Filing bankruptcy because of circumstances like these is not their fault, but they need solutions — solutions that I can help them find.
Serious Illness, Serious Debt
Medical debt can be discharged in a Chapter 7 bankruptcy. It may also be partially discharged in a Chapter 13 bankruptcy after the debtor makes payments for three or five years. As a California bankruptcy attorney, I have helped clients whose medical debt was the result of:
- Cancer diagnosis
- Heart diseases
- Stroke
- Special needs of a disabled child
- Serious accident
- Long-term care needs
- Expensive medication not paid for by health insurance
- Required drug or physical therapy
Circumstances such as these can result in significant debt, even when the debtor has an income and resources. Health care is very expensive, and the bills that my clients receive reflect this.
