More details to this question:
Last winter my husband came home completely drunk and didn't know what happened. Well the cops said he hit the local vfw. He was too out of it to know if he did or didn't. Later we were told some SUV hit the vfw and we were fine. A month or two later we checked the mail and found out they charged us for moving the building off the foundation and denting the stainless steel door worth 8890. I have a dodge neon and all the cop could point out was a scratch from the previous owner. Now we are demanded to pay even though clearly it wasn't us.

You should contact your automobile insurer immediately if you havent done so already. This is why you carry automobile insurance. You need to contact them, let them know that a claim for damages has been made against you arising out of operation of the automobile, give them all the facts, names, police information, etc. They will then investigate and determine if you are liable and pay the damages applicable up to your policy limits. But, most insurance contracts require you to notify them of an accident claim as soon as practicable, so you need to contact them immediately. If you fail to timely notify them, they may deny the claim for breach of terms of the policy.
If you have already contacted them, then you need to turn whatever you received in the mail over to your insurance company and let them handle responding to it.
Best of luck.
