What to do if I filed a bankruptcy on a car accident but now they are suing me again?
My accident was almost 4 years ago; my bankruptcy discharge was last year. Can they still sue me after I bankrupted what they paid out? This has put a lot of stress on me and my family. Can I file anything against the insurance company for doing this?

Potentially the lawsuit against you with respect to the car accident where you filed for bankruptcy protection is a situation where the plaintiff is only seeking your insurance policy and no personal assets. Such is allowed under the bankruptcy law.
I suggest that since there is a lawsuit against you that you consult with a personal injury attorney and tender your defense concerning this lawsuit to your insurance carrier.
