Debts for wilful and malicious injury are non-dischargeable. Whether the injury to the Plaintiff was wilful and malicious depends on the facts. You can wilfully shove someone without trying to wilfully and maliciously injury them.

You will need to consult with bankruptcy counsel to go over the facts of your case. Bankruptcy can help you spread out payments for this type of a wilfull and malicious injury, but cannot discharge the debt.
