Legal Question in Personal Injury in Florida

Re: Types of subpoenas

"Am I actually being sued or is this some obscure legal way of suing my insurance company?"

Both: It looks like the plaintiff hasn't been able to work out a settlement with your insurance company. He cannot sue your insurance company directly, so he must sue you. Turn the papers over to your insurer immediately. Your insurer is required to defend you.

You should not rely on or take action based on this communication without first presenting ALL relevant details to a competent attorney in your jurisdiction and then receiving the attorney's individualized advice for you. By reading the "Response" to your question or comment, you agree that the opinion expressed is not intended to, nor does it, create any attorney-client relationship, nor does it constitute legal advice to any person reviewing such information, nor will it be considered an attorney-client privileged communication. If you do not agree, then you are instructed to stop here, and do not read any further.

If you were served with a Complaint, then you are being sued. It is not obscure, but a very direct way of suing you and eventually hoping to recover from your insurance company.

If you have insurance, I would suggest that you immediately contact them and tell them about this suit. They may provide an attorney if your coverage was in effect.
