Sounds like you did not have car insurance at the time of the accident. If not, then if the other driver pursues judgment against you, it can be recorded here in AZ which will then act as a lien on your real property. Whether the opposing party can seize your house will depend on a number of factors, the primary being whether there is equity above your mortgage and homestead allowance.
