It will depend on where and how you are being sued. If in state court, you need a good civil litigation attorney. If before the Worker's Compensation Appeals Board, you will need a Worker's Compensation attorney who handles defense matters. If you have insurance such as homeowners' insurance or liability insurance, you should turn the claim over to your insurance carrier. They should hire an attorney to defend you.
