I'll just paint the whole picture so you guys know everything then any advice would be appreciated.

In February of 2019 on my way home from work in Connecticut, I was traveling in I95 and traffic came to a stop. A few seconds later I was hit by another car. The car that hit me also hit 2 other cars before hitting me. The first car he hit got completely turned around and put into the Jersey barrier. The second car he hit ( the car behind me ) was able to swerve out of the and avoided hitting me. Then I was struck by the same guy and he came to a stop. I didnt hit anybody, my car moved maybe a foot forward but never hit anybody. Today over a year later I was just served with a summons for this accident saying that I hit someone and they are suing me for a minimum of 15k. What do I do next?

Report this to the insurance company you had at the time of the accident.

Let me repeat Zigner.

Call the insurance company you had at the time.

Also, did you make a claim at the time of the accident? Did the police come to the scene and file a police report?

Yes I made a claim I even sued and settled with the person at fault. The cops showed up at the scene and I was taken to the hospital in an ambulance.

Turn it over to your insurance company. They will provide you an attorney to fight the case.
