Legal Question in Personal Injury in California
I got into car accident on this month n the car I hit had damage only on the driver side just above his front wheel just few scratches . After I hit the car, both parties got off the car n asked each other if anyone got hurt anyways, and we agreed we were fine. Long story short the accident was really minor and the other party agreed for me to get their car fixed without going through insurance and today after 10 days, in the mail I have received a letter that the passenger of car has sued for personal injury. I hit the other car less than 2 miles per hour as I was backing up from my garage.
Please help should I go through insurance or my hire an attorney?

You need to file a claim with the insurance company and then see what happens. They might cover it. Then look into getting an attorney to protect your rights
Provide info to your own insurance co. asap. They will deal with, including legal.
