Creditors Rights in Bankruptcy

Creditors' rights in bankruptcy refer to the legal protections and actions available to those owed money by individuals or businesses seeking bankruptcy relief. When a debtor files for bankruptcy, their assets may be liquidated or reorganized to pay creditors. Creditors can file claims to recover debts and may be prioritized based on the type of debt (secured versus unsecured). The bankruptcy process aims to provide a fair distribution of the debtor's available assets, while also giving the debtor a fresh start. Overall, creditors have a structured way to seek repayment, governed by bankruptcy laws.
