Contact your insurance company. You may have a statute of limitations defense.
see www.FloridaPersonalInjuryTrialLawyer.com
If you are insured for the accident, then presumably the insurance policy provides for legal representation to defend against any case arising out of the accident and since the accident occurred over 4 years ago the statute of limitations may be a valid affirmative defense.
Contact your insurance company, and they will defend you.
If the case was actually filed within the 4 year statute of limitations period then the claim could be properly filed.
If is the case then you should look at the claim and make sure that you have available insurance that would satisfy the claim against you. If you have plenty of insurance then you should be fine with the attorney that the insurance company provides.
Feel free to give me a ring if you have any questions.
Take care,
