As reported in the Los Angeles Times yesterday, southern California has seen a dramatic increase in the number of consumer bankruptcy filings of late. The article referenced the mortgage crisis as the culprit, while also highlighting the fact that changes to the Bankruptcy Code in the Bankruptcy Bill of 2005 have seemingly failed to reduce the number of bankruptcies these last few years.
Although the article emphasizes the increase in the greater Los Angeles area, bankruptcies in Orange County, Riverside County, and San Bernardino County have also risen dramatically in the past year, flooding bankruptcy attorneys in southern California with inquiries from debtors about whether they qualify for Chapter 7 bankruptcy, or whether they must resort to Chapter 13 of the Bankruptcy Code for relief.To read the LA Times article, click here

A new study released this month by Harvard University shows that medical bills and related expenses due to wages lost whilst caring for an ill person were significant factors leading to 67% of the bankruptcies filed in 2007.
Although this study is national in it’s scope, it is safe to assume that bankruptcies in Orange County, Riverside County, and San Bernardino County followed the same pattern in 2007 as the bankruptcies across the nation. The 67% figure is a strong increase in the number of bankruptcies influenced by medical bills over the last six years, as Harvard’s study in 2001 found only 55% of bankruptcies in which medical bills played such a role.
For more information, read this article in the LA Times.
