Can a personal injury liability arising out of a motor vehicle accident be discharged under the provisions of Section 11(1) of the Bankruptcy Act?

MultiRegion, United States of America

The following excerpt is from Kasler, Matter of, 1 C.B.C.2d 276, 611 F.2d 308 (9th Cir. 1979):

7 Some cases involving personal injury liabilities arising out of automobile accidents have refused under this section to discharge debts based on reckless or even negligent conduct. We would be inclined to limit those cases to situations involving "intentional disregard of human life," Greenfield v. Tuccillo, 129 F.2d 854, 856 (2d Cir. 1942), or "reckless indifference to the safety of human life," 8 Remington on Bankruptcy 3329, at 195 (6th ed. 1955). Obviously the libel and trade disparagement in this case involved no danger to human life.
