How can I get out of this situation?

More details to this question:
I let someone drive my car and they got in an accident. We both were sued. I had to pay .$1000 to get a release to obtain my license. Now I'm required to pay $200 a month for a total of $22,000. The person involved will never pay. Is there any way to get out of this?

First of all, did you have any auto insurance? Your liability insurance, if any, would cover this. Even if the driver was not listed on your coverage, as long as they aren't a regular driver, your insurance should cover it. If not, did the driver have any auto insurance? You might not be liable for the damages since you weren't driving unless you loaned the car to someone that you knew should be driving, such as giving the keys to someone who was drunk. However, if you have entered into a written contract to pay, you may be on the hook.
