The best thing to do is to refer the case to your insurance company. They will retain an attorney on your behalf to defend you at their expense. The reason you are being sued is because you are the registered owner of the car. The claims against you may be for negligent entrustment. Regardless, if you were not driving and are not otherwise subject to a claim for negligent entrustment, then your attorney will get this all sorted out in due time.
