I Am Getting SUED! :(

[Jermyn Davidson]

I was in a car accident back in February of 2007.

I rear ended another car at about 10 mph, if that.

There was minimal damage to her car.
She went away in an ambulance and she would not settle with my car insurance company.

Now she is suing me for 30k-- I don't even have 1k anymore!

Does anyone have any advice-- really, I can't even afford a lawyer right now.

I'm not worried as much as I am irritated. However, there is a little bit of concern about what EXACTLY I should do.


Hasn't anyone ever sang songs in the past that mentioned Jesus Christ being a lawyer in the court room?

I think I'm about to live it! That part is kind of exciting!!!!

I feel that my excitement is a little out of place for the situation, but what else am I supposed to do?

I don't have cash for a lawyer, 30k maybe I'll just give her my "behind on mortgage" house and be done with the ordeal. (not!)

If you have insurance, they should handle this and assign a lawyer to you. I was in a wreck several years ago and it was definitely my fault. But the woman walked away with only a broken big toe and she sued me for $100K. My insurance at the time only went up to $25K coverage for that sort of thing. I panicked!! But she ended up settling for $20K and she got a brand new red sporty car with it. The insurance company assigned me a local lawyer, and I had to deputations, etc. But they took care of it all.

I had insurance at the time of the incident.

I have to drop that insurance in a few days because they will not cover me in Florida.

My insurance company told me a few months ago that they were not able to come to an agreement with her and then that was the last I ever heard about it.


KWSSS, I will pray for sure.

I'm not as concerned as my Mom is-- she was the one who called to tell me about my summons.

If you had insurance at the time of the accident they are still liable to cover you.

JG will most likely be able to advise you.

$20k for a broken toe,huh?
Not a bad deal.
I think I'd be willing to break my toe for 20 grand!

Yes exactly. There is a reason we pay insurance companies all that money...so THEY can take care of it. It's their responsibility.
