What is the name of your state? Illinios
Here is my problem and I am worried sick. I recieved a letter certiifed this weekend from an attorney Notice of Attorney Lien. It says something about an accident with my vehicle. I cornered my daugther and she admitted that her friend was driving my car and he got into a minor accident/ No damage but his fault. On the police report it states no damage but the driver called whip lash and the ambulance came. The passengers in the other drivers car where laughing. The police issued the kid a ticket for failure to reduce speed/stop light turning the car did not turn and he bumped his back bumper.
I did not know of this accident/nor that he was driving my car. The police told the kid that he needs to get a lawyer but not to worry about it they are just trying to get money out of you.
Well, now I am being sued. I have only liablity, the kid told my daughter that he had premium car insurance and that he is insured driving any one's car.
He apparently has hired an attorney. The letter that I recieved is as follows
Notice of Attorney's Lien
Plase take notice that the avoe individuals have retained xxxxxxx for representation in a claim against you arising of an automobile accident which occurred in xxxxx, Ilxxxx on our aboutxxxxx whereby causing our clients bodily ijuries.
xxxxx, claims a lien for attorney's fees equal to on-third (or forty percent if there is an appeal or secon trial) of whatever amount may be recoverd on the claim.
Please send a copy of this letter to your insurance company immediately.
Apparently now all passengers of the car are intending to sue. My insurance will not pay this. The driver is a minor and ofcourse I did not authorize him to drive my car. Even though my daugher did. I am the owner
What can I do?? If I call my insurance to let them know,, they will drop me.
Please help
