What are the chances of me losing this court case?

Asked by ItalianPrincess1217 (11979points) June 10th, 2010 from iPhone

I was in an accident about a year ago. I was at fault (says the cop that wrote me the ticket). It was a total blindspot in the intersection and the guy involved in the accident didn’t even attempt to brake! I knew right away he was money hungry by the way he jumped out of his vehicle and laid in the middle of the road. Very dramatic. I was hurt too but I didn’t make a scene. The guy sued my insurance company and I believe he got a settlement. Just a few minute ago, I was served. I’m shaking. I’m upset. I’m on the verge of tears. I’m getting married in a month. I have zero money to pay this guy anything. I only work a min wage part time job and my fiancĂ© barely makes enough to pay our mortgage and bills. I already know the amount he’s asking must be pretty outrageous beacuse the papers state “The plaintiff’s complaint against you is an amount that exceeds the jurisdictional limits of all lower courts.” I’m really worried. Are we going to lose our house? Our car? What happens now? Please tell me everything will be okay! How can he get blood from a stone?
