A: If you had insurance at the time, turn the claim over to them. If you did not have coverage, consult with an attorney to evaluate the claim. You can negotiate a settlement, defend the claim, or consider bankruptcy.

A: I assume you don't have liability insurance. If you do, notify your insurer. Otherwise, your options are: ignore it and see if they pursue you; pay it; or, file for bankruptcy.
