I presume that you were operating a vehicle that had auto insurance when this incident occurred. Therefore, you need to immediately turn over the lawsuit papers to your auto insurance company that you had on the date of the accident. Your auto insurance company will hire a defense lawyer to represent you and will pay any judgment awarded against you up to your auto policy limit.
If you did not have auto insurance on the date of the accident, then I suggest that you hire an attorney to assist you with this matter.
