Is what legal? I am going to guess at what you might be asking. The simple answer is - if the owner wants to keep the house then they need to pay for it. This can be done by paying the normal monthly payment or a loan modification. It would be wise for the owner or borrower to obtain legal counsel to determine their rights and/or obligations. Make sure to contact an attorney in the state where you live.

What does a relief of stay mean?

Bankruptcy lawyer at Carballo Law Offices
When a bankruptcy case is filed an order from the court (staying) stopping creditors from taking any collection or legal action against the debtor filing for bankruptcy takes effect automatically. This is called the "automatic stay". When the creditor gets permission from the bankruptcy court to proceed with collection or legal action, the order of the court is called a "relief of stay" order. The creditor can then continue a lawsuit, foreclose on a house, repossess a car or whatever the order says the creditor can do.

Can you declare bankruptcy for a civil suit that wants a million dollars for crashing a friend’s car into their house?

You can file bankruptcy on the debt. If you filed Ch 7 the creditor would have to file a nondischargeability action and it could very well be excepted from discharge depending on the circumstances. However, if you filed a Ch 13, then you would receive a discharge of the debt as well.
