Re: Car accident
Do you have car insurance? If so, your insurance will be responsible for handling the case. If you do not, or were sued above your policy, you may have to hire an attorney to represent you. It sounds as though you may have valid defenses to her claims; I would speak to an attorney asap.
I would be willing to discuss some of the issues of your accident to see how I may be of assistance.
I offer prospective clients an initial consultation of 30 minutes for free.
I look forward to speaking with you.
Yours truly,

Re: Car accident
Let your car insurance deal with this. That is why you pay it.
Re: Car accident
I agree with Messrs. Becker and Stein that you should have your auto insurance company handle this for you.
I want to add that it is VERY unlikely that the plaintiff is just "pretending" she had ankle surgery. Your lawyer will be able to subpoena her medical and billing records directly from the hospital, the doctors, etc. Unless she and her health care providers have all conspired to create records and bills of an operation that never happened, the kind of fraud you accuse her of would be exposed before your case ever got to trial.
