You are encouraged to immediately consult your own insurance carrier -- usually they will take over providing a defense.
Generally claims must be filed within 3 years. If the accident occurred more than three years before you were sued, it may be barred by the statute of limitations.
I hope the general legal information in this post helps although it is not a substitute for getting personalized legal advice.

Submit to your own insurer. They will investigate and if they accept coverage, an attorney will be hired at no cost to you. If the claim is denied, then you must hire your own lawyer. Good luck!
