You need to turn the lawsuit over to your insurance company at the time of the accident.

You take the suit papers to your carrier, tell them the story and forget it. That is what insurance is for.

Turn the suit papers over to your car insurer. Do not delay as there are time limits for Answering a Complaint. Cooperate with your insurer or they will not provide a defense.

Turn it over to your insurance company. You only have days to respond so do it immediately. Failure to do so will result in a default judgment against you.

Turn it over to your insurance company immediately and let them handle it. They will provide you with the defense and pay any judgment or settlement up to the limits of your policy. Good luck.

You had insurance, so immediately give your insurance company a copy of the pleadings and demand that they defend you.

Hire an attorney with an insurance defense firm . Ask them to charge you the same lower hourly rate that they charge insurance companies. If you are judgment proof, have no attachable assets, if you are married and your assets are titled in joint names and you are the head of the household they can not garnish your wages and your home is exempt under Florida Homestead law, they may not pursue the claim if they figure out any judgment against you would be uncollectible. Do not let 20 days days run or they will win by default- and don't wait until the 15th or 19th day to hire an attorney!!

You should contact the insurance company you had at the time of the accident immediately. The insurance company will provide an attorney to represent you and settle or pay the amount of a judgment up to the limits of your liability coverage.
