Washington (only U.S. law)?
Hi all. I was involved in a car accident almost 2 yrs ago. I bumped a car at about 10 mi hr driving in rush hour traffic, Police came out and didn't even file a report because according to them there was not enough damage done. The other party tried to file a lawsuit against me back then but their attorney refused to take their case.
From what I've gathered they have been involved in a few accidents prior to this one and 3 after this incident all rear end accidents I believe.
My insurance company has been trying to get the families medical records for a yr now but they refused to co-operate. Today I get a hand delivered letter from a new lawyer stating that they are filing a lawsuit against me for major medical damages.
This is my 1st accident in well over 30 yrs. Why would they hire a lawyer rather than using their insurance company? My Insurance at that time was 25/50 though I raised it considerably shortly afterwards. I just didn't have the finances for a larger coverage.
This past yr and a half has been a nightmare! My income comes from SSI and a low paying part time job.
This really has me freaked out, not sure what to expect. Any feedback would be truly appreciated
