QUESTION
I got a summon today for a traffic incident. Basically, the plaintiff is suing me for personal injury and damages of about 300k.

More details to this question:
But here is the problem. I have never involved in any such traffic incident. The incident happened in LA county and I live in Santa Clara county, CA. The date/time it happened I was never in LA. The car involved, some toyota corolla is not my vehicle. Shouldn''t attorneys be careful before they send out summons like this. Honestly, I should not be talking/paying a lawyer when I have nothing to do with it. Please advise. Can I countersue saying his summon has caused me pain and suffering

Hello.
It's quite possible that you just have the same exact name as the person who was intended to be sued. I would suggest contacting the attorney that represents that Plaintiff and simply clarifying to them that you are not the person they want to sue.
