Legal Question in Personal Injury in Indiana

This past January I was involved in an automobile accident. I was heading to work coming off of a side road to cross the highway when I was struck by a semi. I was temporarily knocked unconcious due to hitting my face on something in my vehicle causing a deep laceration to my face. When police arrived on the scene they took my statement then sent me to a nearby hospital to asses my injuries. Because I was 3 days late paying my insurance my insurance company declined to pay any of the damages. For the next three days after the accident I was out of sorts and not myself. I did not recieve any more information on the accident until this month, September, when I recieved papers stating that the trucking company was sueing me for nearly $80,000.oo in damages, medical bills, and the expenses that the trucking companies insurance covered. I feel as though I have not been treated fairly because I did not recieve any information on the accident until 8 months after the fact and I was made to make a statement right after the accident when I had not recollection of what had happened.

You MUST answer that complaint. Go to a lawyer immediately to get an answer on file. If you can't get to one quick enough, file an answer with the court denying all counts. Get a lawyer in your area if you can.
