Legal Question in Personal Injury in Michigan

I am being sued by the insurance company of an employee of car wash company. He claimed that I hit him as I was driving out of the car wash, when in fact he walked in front of the truck. In addition:
� The police were called to the scene, reviewed the surveillance tapes and concluded that what he saw was inconclusive.
� EMS was called and the employee did not go to the hospital but went back to work.
� I was given a ticket for a defective gear, which was subsequently thrown out in court.
My problem is that my No-fault insurance had lapsed at the time of the accident. Now, his employer insurance company is saying that I am responsible and liable for monies paid on his behalf. I am on SSI, a single parent, and live at home with my mother. I do not have any assets other that the truck which is not working now.
What should I do? Do I need a lawyer to counter-sue because I am not responsible for him walking in front of the truck?

It sounds as if the insurance company is attempting to get blood out of a stone. If you have a job, money or other assets, then you need a lawyer.
