Bankruptcy is a legally declared inability or impairment of
ability of an individual or organization to pay its creditors. Creditors may
file a bankruptcy petition against a debtor ("involuntary bankruptcy") in an
effort to recoup a portion of what they are owed or initiate a
restructuring. In the majority of cases, however, bankruptcy is initiated by
the debtor (a "voluntary bankruptcy" that is filed by the bankrupt
individual or organization).
