They can proceed and get a judgment against you and then proceed to attache property or income to collect. It may force you into bankruptcy.
Re: personal injury
If you are insured and they are demanding an amount greater than your insurance policy it does not mean that they are entitled to an amount greater, just that they are claiming they are. You should turn this matter over to your insurance company. If they do not respond to the claims made against you, you may have a claim for bad faith against your insurance company. Your insurance company is required, in good faith, to represent you and present you with the peace of mind you purchased when acquiring your policy. Let us know if we can be of assistance if your insurance company is non-responsive. www.thelonestarattorney.com
