I was involved in an auto accident 2 years ago. A person pulled out in front of me and I hit them from behind. The DPS report stated that I failed to control speed and that the other driver failed to yield the right of way: he pulled onto a major thoroughfare from a stop sign on a side road. No citations were issued. I was traveling appr. 5 MPH below the posted speed limit, the guy pulled out in front of me and I just couldn't get stopped fast enough. The DPS officer estimated the driver allowed me less than one second to get stopped..........that's not in the report.
The other driver filed a claim against my insurance and they denied; now he's suing me for past and future medical bills as well as an assortment of other things. I noticed his back window of his truck had writing on it "Professional Witness" and his profession on the accident report is listed as legal consultant.
He must think I have some money or something; I own very little...........most of what I have is owned by a back or credit card company. He'll be disappointed I fear.
What should I do now? Is this guy just fishing and hoping I'll ignore this? How much of a case can he have?..............the accident report said we were BOTH at fault.
Thanks for any advice.
