My question involves court procedures for the state of: California
Hi there!
I'm being sued for an auto accident (a 5 car accident, in which I was the 4th car to be involved). I did have insurance, and despite the minor damages to the other vehicle, the person is claiming damages in total of $15,000, which my auto policy does not all cover (due to it being a multi-car accident, part of the coverage is going to other vehicles).
My question is, should I inform the party that I will be unable to pay in an attempt to get the suit dropped? I work part time (24hrs/week) and make minimum wage ($9/hr), so it is my understanding that my wages cannot be garnished due to wages being too low. Furthermore I have no property of value, except my vehicle (bought for $600), and may very well decide to file for bankruptcy should the lawsuit succeed (due to other debts, not just this possible one).
Should I inform the other party of this in an attempt to get them to drop the suit? Or will informing them of this somehow open me up to other legal matters?
