Turn the matter over to your car insurer and any insurer of the rental vehicle and let them sort out which insurer would be responsible to defend the claims against you.

If you had insurance in force on the car you were driving, either insurance you bought when you rented the car, or insurance on your own car, then notify your insurance company about the incident AND the document you received. If you did not have insurance, then you have a problem, and will need to hire a lawyer in the city where the accident happened.
