MGL Chapter 150E Section 9A
The Mayflower arrived at what is now Provincetown, at the tip of Cape Cod, Massachusetts, on November 11, 1620. They assembled a small boat and actually set foot on land on November 13th. In the boat, they made three expeditions over the next few weeks exploring the coastline. Having selected a site for their settlement, they sailed the Mayflower across to an abandoned Native American settlement called Patuxet, now Plymouth. The Mayflower dropped anchor there on December 16th. That is where the legendary Plymouth Rock can be found. [Source: Of Plymouth Plantation by William Bradford, Chapter X.]

Sorry, but absolutely not. The person may be able to file a Chapter 13, which may not be the best solution but may be the only viable option. Bankruptcy is always break only meant as and intended to be used because of special circumstances.
Normal time limit would be sixty to ninety days. It is quite possible that said time frame will become much longer due to the large volume of bankruptcies that were filed in an effort to beat the new bankruptcy law deadline of Oct. 17. 2005.
Yes you can protect it under chapter 7 bankruptcy
How much, if any, needs to be claimed in the State of PA when filing for Chapter 7 if you have a pending WC claim in another state.
I am hoping someone has an answer to this
"Bankruptcy" does not take anything. The Chapter 13 Trustee is the one who "takes" anything there is to be taken. And, no, your settlement - if you mean a retroactive check for disability (SSDI) - is not available to the trustee. If you are talking about a settlement of a lawsuit, probably not, unless the cause of action existed at the time you filed the c. 13 and did not exempt any possible award. Talk to your bankruptcy lawyer.
If (a) you filed Chapter 7 *AND* (b) the injury occurred *AFTER* you filed, no. Otherwise, you should discuss it with your bankruptcy attorney.
Yes
No
Yes.
You can, but you may have to turn it over to the trustee if you did not list the claim in your list of assets and your Statement of Financial Affairs. If the trustee abandoned the claim, the settlement is yours. If you failed to list it, not only can you lose the settlement, you may be subject to federal criminal charges for lying on your bankruptcy forms, which you signed under oath.
The amount of time a bankruptcy stays on your credit report after discharge differs between Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 Bankruptcy. With Chapter 7 bankruptcy, the Chapter 7 stays on your credit report for 10 years. Chapter 13 bankruptcy, after discharge, it shows for 7 years on your credit report.
