18 Year Old Getting Sued For A Car Accident

Card image cap

I’m at a complete loss of what to do. Right after I got my license I got into an accident. I honestly don’t really remember what happened, but I was deemed liable for making an early left turn. A car smashed into me, totaled my mom’s car. As a result of this car smashing into my passenger side, my car skid and bumped into another one. I wasn’t technically on my mom’s insurance because she was out of town when I got my license. I haven’t heard anything from the main driver who hit me. However the car that got “bumped” is now suing me. Their car had small damage and drove away from the scene after the cops had been called. No ambulances were on scene. The cops all asked if we were okay and everyone said they were fine. There were two people in the car that got “bumped.” They are both suing me for injuries. I personally believe they are faking it due to the fact that they were completely fine on scene. I’m a college student already struggling financially. I’m currently on the lookout for a lawyer because my mom’s insurance won’t cover it. I’m looking for any advice or words of encouragement. It’s been extremely hard to go about my daily life, working/going to college. Location: Arkansas
