File an answer to the complaint that denies those statements in the complaint that are false. This will prevent the party suing from acquiring a Summary Disposition against you. Since what happened is a question of fact, it will probably end up going to trial, if not settled. Don't forget your right and your wife's right to countersue for injuries caused by the person suing.

Defend yourself at all costs. If you have homeowner's insurance, depending on the facts alleged in the pleadings, you may receive a defense at the cost of the insurance company.
