getting sued

What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? tn
well to start two years ago I had a house fire at home. I lived with a good friend who had home insurance. I rented out the basement from him. One night I got ready to cook fries and left grease on for maybe 10 mins and the kitchen started on fire. When the fire dept. asked what happened i said I left the grease on. Now I'm being sued for like 24,000. What do I do now HELP!!!

Pay up. The fire was your fault.

Hire a lawyer and make sure you ALWAYS have renters insurance from now on.

Who's suing - the homeowner's insurance company?

Get a lawyer to scrutinize the policy, which may cover damage to the home by tenants.

I'm sure it does but that doesn't make OP any less liable for the damage.
