Re: car wreck
Since it was filed so quickly, I suspect it was filed in small claims court or city court. Go to the clerk of that court and ask them for a form to answer the suit. If that is not the case, then simply answer the suit by denying each allegation "for lack of sufficient information to justify a belief therein."
Re: car wreck
You were responsible because you were driving. And if you can prove that the car was really owned by your son, then he could also be responsible. I Answered this earlier.
