In bankruptcy cases a bankruptcy trustee is a court-appointed impartial officer who is charged with administering the debtor's estate. The trustee is appointed by the Department of Justice's United States Trustee and serves as a representative of creditors and protects their interests both in cases filed under Chapter 13 and Chapter 7.
When someone acts in a negligent or a reckless manner and another person is seriously injured as a result of the incident in question, that injured person has legal rights and options that arise and that are available.
