Can personal injury settlements be garnished? If you are filing an insurance claim or lawsuit and owe money, you might be concerned about whether settlement money can be garnished. In Florida, personal injury settlement proceeds are generally protected from creditor garnishment. However, the government may garnish part of your settlement for back taxes, unpaid child support, or other outstanding debts.
