Legal Question in Personal Injury in Illinois

My son, who is 13, shot a folded piece of paper with a rubberband on the school bus at his brother. It inadvertantly hit a girl as she turned around, in the eye. It caused damage to her cornea that has needed extensive medical care. We recently got a call from a lawyer from Chicago, we are close to Champaign, IL, telling me they need info on my homeowners insurance due to this girls medical insurance not covering all of her expenses. I am a single, unemployed, full time student and mother of four. I don't have homeowners insurance. Plus, I don't have any money or property to give. I'm lucky if I can pay my own bills, let alone help someone else with theirs after an accident. What could be my course of action?

It sounds as if you are "judgment proof".

Tell the Attorney that has contacted you, your situation. You are unemployed the Mother of 4 and have no assets.
