Immediately contact your insurance company. Send them the
lawsuit papers by certified mail and by regular mail. Your
insurance company will assign a lawyer to your claim and will
pay for your defense. If the other person sues you for an
amount greater than your insurance limits, you may want to
retain a lawyer for yourself in addition to the insurance
company’s lawyer. If you are charged with a crime such
as DUI, running a stop sign, reckless driving, you will need
to hire a criminal defense lawyer. If you cannot afford to
hire a criminal defense attorney, call the county public defender’s
office and request that one be provided to you.
