What is the name of your state? California
Hi, on June '06 I was involved in a car accident while driving my mom's car. She had no insurance, and I was found to be at fault. I agreed to paid my mom the damages to her car, but the OTHER DRIVER'S insurance company (MERCURY, oh how i loathe thee) has been demanding I pay them 4900$ to cover the damages of their "client". I don't have that kind of money to just THROW away, and I've been just ignoring their requests in the mail for me to respond on what I am planning to do. Now I received a letter from MERCURY's lawyers, stating this is their last "request" for me to contact MERCURY INSURANCE GROUP, before they take legal action. If I am sued by Mercury, don't go to court, and continue acting like nothing happened, what is the worst case scenario? Can I go to jail? Will they begin to take from my "wages"? What should I do here? Please, any advise would be great. I REALLY don't want to pay them... I hate getting punked by an insurance company, especially when this amount means nothing to them.
