How will my Workers’ Compensation benefits be affected if I file for bankruptcy?

If you have to file bankruptcy, your Workers’ Compensation benefits are safe from the claims of creditors and the bankruptcy trustee.

Oklahoma statute exempts all workers’ compensation benefits from all claims of creditors and from levy, execution or attachment or other remedy for recovery or collection of a debt. Workers’ Compensation benefits do not become an asset of the bankruptcy estate and can not be taken by the bankruptcy trustee.
