Hello ****, in Idaho:

- Chapter * allows you to reorganize and repay your debts over time.
You should consult a bankruptcy attorney to make an informed decision.
My mesical trouble started back in * when i was sent by my work to get halloween candy for a event. At that time i was around the 500lbs mark. I fell in the store Nd the store said they would not take responsibility for the fall even though it was a grape i slipped on. When i reported the fall to work they ignored me and refused to even take a report. My ankle and knee were injured at that time and now the damage has been so bad that last january i stopped walking.
I'm sorry to hear about your accident, ****. Did you take any legal action against the store or your employer at that time? It's important to know this as it may affect your current situation. Additionally, laws regarding this could differ depending on the state.
