You may have a countersuit against this person, however you should inform your insurance company that yo uare being sued so they can take the case over. Usually, if you're being sued in this type of situation many people get frightened and dont know what to do next. Sending the information to your insurance is usually enough, and they take care of all of the rest - so get them the information on the lawsuit as soon as possible.
