You can file, but if you go to bankruptcy court they WILL ask you if you are in the middle of any claims/lawsuits that you could make a $$ from.

Yes, but if the bankruptcy is finalized before the judgment on the civil case, that judgment probably won't be included.
If you want to play legal maneuvering like this, you need to consult with an attorney who will advise you of what is legal and what is not. Trying to escape a pending legal judgment by declaring bankruptcy may have other legal consequences, and may invalidate some or all of the bankruptcy proceedings as a matter of attempted fraud.
Whenever your legal rights and obligations are at issue, consult with a licensed attorney.

if you get an award before court they will take it unless you wait a while and spend the $$
