I was at a wedding and after the wedding we went to our friends room. My friend who is a women was arguing with a man and he hit her in the face knocked her to the floor. Me and another guy went after him to pull him away. He was Hit in the face and lost 2 teeth. He was asking who hit him because he wasn't sure. This was after we left. I got a letter yesterday Saying I'm being seud for punching him and knocking his teeth out. Noone in the room saw me hit him. I'm not saying I did it but I'm not saying I didn't. he's asking for $8,000.00 for his teeth and pain and suffering. Everyone who was in the room said they would testify for me by saying he hit her first. What are my chances on losing this case? He found out I did it through word of mouth but I never admitted it to him.
Please help me with what you think will happen.
Should I get a Lawyer?
Thankyou Craig. The Hearing is the 27th this month.

make sure the girl he hit shows up to testify on your behalf. Much will depend on why you hit him. Was he fighting with you? Was he still trying to get to the girl?

defending the girl

Yes she is planing on being there. It happend so fast he hit her we went after him and he went back at her but the other guy pushed him back on the bed. He didn't come after me so I guess you could say I was defending her.
