The truth is that anyone can sue for anything. That person can sue you for 21 million dollars for any ridiculous reason. That does not mean that suit will be finalized at that amount.

Another thing is that if you have nothing, they can't get anything. :p The judge would say, ok, you lose jvitale928; but all they would really get is whatever maximum coverage you have on your auto policy. If you are really poor they probably can't even take much out of your wages, if any.

If you did cause serious damage to the other person, then all I can say is shame on you. The judge would probably say the samething.

What are you being sued for anyway :confused:
