Asked on May 24th, 2013 on Personal Injury - Michigan
More details to this question:
I just found out a judgement went through on me for damages to a vehicle hit when my car was stolen. I never received anything about it for court and was never served. They are wanting to suspend my licence on 5/29/13 for this and not having insurance but I have insurance which I gave to company 2 years ago when the accident occurred and sent them police report that vehicle was stole. Please help.

If you had insurance they would have responded. If your car were stolen it would not be covered. No judgment could be entered against you without proper notice. You should get a lawyer to look into the judgment and see if it was properly entered. He may be able to make a motion to set it aside.

This is complicated but can be fully resolved. You will need a lawyer to help you out. Contact one of the area Bar Association lawyer referral services with the problem and get referred to a competent lawyer who will help you clear the judgment and assure that you license is not suspended. Do not wait on this.

You need to send them the information again. You probably should hire an attorney to go after the judgment against you and get it removed if at all possible.

You need to hire a lawyer to vacate the judgment and lift the suspension.

Call your liability insurer tomorrow morning and tell them what happened. I assume you gave your insurer notice when you first learned of the accident. The insurance company will hire a lawyer to help you. The law generally tries to ensure that people are served with a summons and complaint before jurisdiction attaches against them for a case. Be sure to contact your automobile insurer right away.

Unless you filed a stolen vehicle report immediately, you may be in trouble.
