If you get person injury settlement does all of it have to go to a chapter 13?

Your trustee will have to make a decision on that. Generally, there is an exemption up to a certain amount. Your best bet is to either discuss this with your trustee or speak with a bankruptcy attorney to make sure you benefit from any exemption to the maximum allowed.

Have your attorney call the Ch 13 trustee and talk about his or her expectations before you settle. I assume your personal injury claim did not exist when you filed for bankruptcy initially. If it did it belongs to the Trustee and you cannot settle the case without his or her involvement,
