FAQ: I was sued by an insurance company and didn’t know. What do I do?

January 20, 2007 by Jonathan Stein

Q: I had no insurance. I got in an accident. The other person’s insurance company sued me. I moved and didn’t know about it and now they have a judgment. What do I do?

A: You need to go down to the court immediately and get a copy of the file. If a default judgment has been entered, there would be a hearing to determine the amount of the judgment. If that is done, you may be able to set it aside.

But, you say you weren’t served. You may have been served by publication and could potentially set this aside on that grounds. However, you need a copy of the court file to review with an attorney to discuss your options!
