I was mailed a Civil Summons to appear in Tennessee in a few months, which is about 1800 miles from where I live now. Is mailing even a legitimate form of serving, and what were to happen if I can't/don't make it to my Civil Summons?

Regular mail for a summons is not valid. It needs to be certified where the post office will deliver it and make you sign for it. If you fail to appear the court may grant a judgment of default, even if it is bad service. Hire local counsel to review the summons and help you make a determination... View More

Possible negligence cause of action. But it is a Government Tort Liability Action, so few lawyers know what to do. No jury and a 1 year SOL, with with caps on damages. You will need other firemen to testify as experts.

You will probably need a TN attorney to get the Clerk and the Sheriff to execute a Levy against the firm's Bank Account. It would be necessary to know what Bank they use. There are Fees for each Levy. You apparently have a Judgment but now you have 10 years to collect.

Your Summons should tell you that your Answer is due within 30 days of Service. Hire a competent attorney. Fair Compensation can be asked for, and a suit might bring in more money. But the Government has Eminent Domain powers. You should ask for enough money to build another parking lot.

If the property is significant, file an Action to Recover Personal Property in Sessions. As to debt, it is up to him to sue you. I doubt FDCA applies here enough to file suit.
