A: If you had automobile insurance with bodily injury coverage, your automobile insurance company will provide you with an attorney and a defense. Otherwise, you can retain your own attorney but it will cost you. Personal injury cases are far from clear cut for either party. There are many moving parts to each case. Good luck.

A: David's answer is correct. But your questions says you got interrogatories. I'm assuming you got served with a lawsuit too. The big question is whether you have insurance coverage. If you do, notify them immediately.
