I was served with a civil summons from an insurance company's lawyer for damage to their insured's vehicle caused my a wreck almost a year ago. As I am unemployed and on Social Security Disability, I went to Legal Aid to see if they could help me. Unfortunately their case load is too high at the moment. The paralegal said I should respond by line item (Agree, Deny, Explanation). So I found a form online and have done that. She also told me that there isn't really that much they can do to me if I don't have the money and don't own anything.
My questions are these:
Where do I file the response? I don't live in the same county where the summons was filed.
Is there going to be any fees for filing a response?
If I am financially unable to pay, how should I reply? For dismissal due to hardship? What else should I ask for? Dismissal of case? Grant court cose?
Should I put in the response that I tried contacting the insurance company, explaining my 'situation' with no response from them?
