Give them the information as otherwise the attorney may file a lawsuit against you. Contact your insurance and tell them in detail what occurred. They have to show negligence on your part. If they had made a demand on you to fix something and you did not act within a reasonable period of time, they may have had a legal right to try to make the repair.
