If you had personal injuries or property damage from the accident, first give the lawsuit to your own insurance company; and consult an attorney about countersuing.

If the accident was the other person's fault, or partially the other person's fault, you have the right to file what is called a cross-complaint. Your own insurance company will defend the case against you and you would need to retain your own attorney for the cross-complaint.
