LAMOUTTE, Bankruptcy Judge.
The issue before the panel is whether a debtor under Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code may claim more than one exemption of $15,000.00 for payment received on account of personal bodily injury pursuant to 11 U.S.C. § 522(d)(1)(D) when the debtor has three separate tort claims pending as a result of three separate pre-petition automobile accidents. The debtor appeals the bankruptcy court’s determination that she may not claim more than one exemption on account of personal bodily injury.
