In this time of economic strain, more Los Angeles residents are feeling the strain of just trying to keep up with their bills. As hard as it is, sometimes the only way to save yourself and move on to a brighter future is to make the legal system work for you through bankruptcy.
Misperceptions about bankruptcy and the people who file for it often cause people to avoid bankruptcy. For example, going through a bankruptcy doesn't mean you were irresponsible and squandered away your money; extenuating circumstances are often the reason many people have to take such a drastic step.
The lack of health insurance is a problem for many citizens. If you or someone in your family is severely injured or becomes seriously ill, you could quickly see your life savings drain away in a hurry if you don't have insurance or are underinsured. Filing bankruptcy under such circumstances is more than understandable.
Many businesses are having to downsize or are going out of business entirely. If the downsizing axe gets you, the chances are good it will take quite a while to find comparable work as the job market is slow. Like with a medical emergency, your savings can disappear in a hurry and then you are left with bills you can't pay.
Another problem that is leading to an increase in bankruptcy is the inflation rate. Just about every essential item needed for daily life is getting more expensive while wages are staying the same.
