subject: Missouri or Illinois Bankruptcy Could Stop a Medical Emergency from Ruining Your Financial Future [print this page] Author: Jim Brown Author: Jim Brown
It would be nice to know when big costs are coming. If we could only predict car breakdowns, home repairs, and medical emergencies, we'd be much better off. Unfortunately, we cannot predict events--or the cost. And medical emergencies are among the worst of life's little surprises. If a life is at stake, cost usually is (and, perhaps, should be) the last thing on our minds. But what's the cost of saving a life?The cost of an air ambulance is a perfect example. An article on MSNBC reported that about 550,000 patients are flown by helicopter or a small airplane to get medical treatment for heart attacks and car accidents, among other things. What is the cost of these flights? It could be anywhere from slightly less than $12,000 to $25,000 per flight.It's no wonder that health care is such a hot button issue for congress right now. The amount of money required to pay for serious medical treatment is steadily increasing--and so is the number of folks filing chapter 7 or chapter 13 bankruptcy in Missouri and Illinois. After 15 years as a St. Louis Missouri and Fairview Heights Illinois bankruptcy attorney, I've seen a lot of people that need to be protected from foreclosure, to find a solution to credit card debt, and to get rid of harassing creditors after a medical emergency. Medical bills can be eliminated through bankruptcy, keeping families safe and protected in their homes and without the burden of debt looming over them.Bad things happen to good peoplebut bankruptcy can protect those people from losing more than they already have. If you are in a similar situation and wondering "Should I file bankruptcy?" take a look at the information available to you from reputable St. Louis Missouri or Southern Illinois bankruptcy attorneys. Most bankruptcy lawyers will provide you with a few tidbits of information or even bankruptcy FAQ on their websites. The best bankruptcy attorneys in Missouri and Illinois, however, will provide you with articles, blogs, and possibly even free publications before you set foot into his or her office. Before you hire any attorney, make sure that he or she is willing to go above and beyond to educate you about Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 bankruptcy. About the Author:
