I live in New York and in 1998 was in a car accident where I was coming out of a parking and hit a car on the side. No one was hurt, but now I received a summons to answer a complaint and am not sure what to do. I don't want to write anything that will perger myself. I don't have any money for legal advise and would like to know if the state can provide me an attorney. Where do I go for help. I don't have much time either because they gave me 20 days to respond.

My response:

Did you have vehicle insurance in 1998 ?

If so, that same insurance company owes you a defense, even though they may no longer be your insurance company today. If you did have insurance, call them and make arrangements to have this lawsuit defended by them.

If you didn't have insurance, let me know and we'll explore some other avenues.
