An automobile valued up to $5,000.00 is exempt from execution on a judgment. This means it must be worth $5,000.00 over what you owe on it. You are probably what we call judgment proof, meaning they can get a judgment against you but probably not collect.

It sounds like you have automobile insurance. If you get sued, send the papers to your auto insurance provider and let them handle it.

You are the responsible party, ultimately, including what your insurance may not cover. You might mention to your insurer that you have no other assets, and you will probably be asked to prove that, either my declaration or some other method.
