Legal Question in Personal Injury in Florida
i was in a very minor accident with a van in a shopping center. there was only a woman in the van driving, and apparently while backing out, i caused a very minor dent in her side. now she and her father have been harrassing me for months with letters and last night they sent a man to issue a summons for me to appear in court. they are suing me cause i did not file a claim with my insurance( i was covered at the time, but the incident was so minor she led me to think taking my info was just a formality. there was no police involved and no accident report was filed. what proof do they have? i have acknowledged no fault or admitted nothing. what do i do?

Contact you insurance company.
If you have been sued, you must either retain counsel or defend yourself. An answer must be filed with the court. Do not default or you will lose automatically and have a judgment against you. You can also notify your insurance carrier, however they may disclaim due to late notice. Good luck.
