BTW, being in the HOV lane (legal or not) has nothing to do with whether you have any liability for someone hitting your car!<br><b>References : </b><br> Yes, you clearly need a lawyer because messing up your defense will cost you a lot more, and there are unlimited ways to mess it up.

Get all the documentation from the accident you have and be ready to appear. If you can, consult a lawyer of your own. Be sure you have all of your insurance documents and a copy of the police report. Don't accept responsibility for anything. Don't sign anything until it's reviewed by an attorney. Don't give them anything without a formal, written request - keep all of your paperwork. If they want it, have them send a formal request & tell them you will send copies. A lot of times people will sue to get rich. Sometimes they will sue everyone in the hopes that someone will pay up. This person may have already tried something with the insurance company and the drive at fault and got turned down - now, they could be trying to pick off everyone else on the list. Stay calm, document everything, ask for copies of transcripts and filings. If at all possible, find an attorney. You may actually need to counter-sue to stop this. Even if they walk away with nothing, check with the court clerk to be sure they've withdrawn the suit. Be advised, I am not a lawyer - this is just what I would do. Good Luck!<br><b>References : </b><br> Don’t panic. Get all the documentation from the accident you have and be ready to appear. If you can, consult a lawyer of your own.

It's quite possible the incident can no longer be litigated. Are you sure a lawyer has taken the case, or has the passenger sued on his own behalf? Was he actually a passenger? Not sure what the quotation marks mean. If it is within the statute of limitations, and all prior data and conclusions indicate that you are not at fault, I'd consult a lawyer and move for an immediate dismissal of the suit.<br><b>References : </b><br> Check the statute of limitations.
