What if someone sues me?

Contact your insurance agent and/or your lawyer right away. Generally, your insurance company will assign a lawyer to handle your case. But, if you are sued for more money than your policy covers, you may need your own attorney too.

Also, insurance company lawyers do not handle traffic citations or criminal cases, such as hit and run charges.

If you are charged with a crime and cannot afford a lawyer, call your county's Public Defender. Depending on your income, you may qualify for free assistance. To find the Public Defender, look in the white pages under the name of your county.
