What would you have an attorney do? You knew you shouldn't have been driving and that you didn't have any insurance. The wife had to pay for the accident because by letting you drive the car, the husband invalidated any rental insurance that might have come with the car. You caused the problem, if not the accident. Its time to settle up. Find an attorney who can try and negotiate a settlement for you. If you try and defend this in court, you lose. . .
