Claims are not filed in no-asset c. 7 cases. If there are assets, there will be a notice to creditors that assets may be available for distribution (called a "dividend"). Your discharge will be received about 2 months after your 341 meeting. The assets are the property of the estate, managed by the trustee, so your discharge does not depend on any claims.
If it is not a secured debt it will be included in the bankruptcy discharge.
File a proof of claim
It depends on the chapter. In either case, your remaining debt is now unsecured and a bankruptcy filing places the judgment on hold. If it is Chapter 13, file a claim and you may receive a percentage of the bankruptcy estate, but not usually until near the end of the bankruptcy term (3-5 years). If it's a Chapter 7, again, it's an unsecured debt and highly unlikely that the debtor will sign a reaffirmation to pay you back. If the bankruptcy gets dismissed (thrown out), your judgment is back in force, provided it has not expired.
A judge or court may sometimes expunge a claim in bankruptcy court. This means that the claim is erased, as if it never happened.
No limit
Not as a rule. If the claim was something that arose after the filing, it will depend on the nature of the claim. If the claim arose prior to filing, you must have disclosed the claim in the bankruptcy documents and the trustee may take over the claim. Consult a lawyer knowledgeable in bankruptcy.
I have been through Chapter 7 twice and both times was unable to claim my Student Loan.
You will receive, directly from the bankruptcy court, a notice of filing and information on filing your claim with the court. If you believe a person has filed bankruptcy, and you know the person' s address, you can check with the clerk of the bankruptcy court. The bankruptcy court one files in is determined by the county within which the debtor resides.
Your claim is most likely covered by a WC insurance, either a prvate policy the employer had or one with the State. As such, your claim should be unaffected by the Bankruptcy.
Yes. That is probably one of the times this would be the correct Chapter to use.
The allegation of fraud in a complaint in a lawsuit does not prevent the discharge of the underlying claim. The creditor would have to object to discharge in the bankruptcy court on the grounds of fraud and prove to the court's satisfaction that there was fraud of the kind that bars discharge
By filing a proof of Claim, or by addressing questions/arguments to the court
