Legal Question in Personal Injury in Alabama

Should I proceed with a court trial if I am being sued for car damages that I was not at fault for? The police was not called to the scene because the student did not want to call them. He failed to yeild and I hit him in the rear tire. Now his mother is trying to sue me for car damages. The accident was not my fault.
