More details to this question:
My husband was involved in an auto accident two months ago. He hit a pedestrian. The person was injured and taken to the hospital with some serious injuries. We have been in our house 4 years and still have a mortgage. The pedestrian's lawyer stated that because there is equity in the house the man can take the house.

The lawyer must get a judgment against you entered by a judge before the lawyer can go after any assets whatsoever. You may need to retain your own lawyer to fight the judgment.
