as is the case with most legal questions, there is a need to learn more.
the contract should control........did you get permission to drop off after hours?
the challenge is that retaining a lawyer may be as costly as the PD.

you have an obligation to cooperate with your insurance......if not they arguably would have no obligation to defend you.
however, I don't understand why they won't cover it if you rear-ended someone.
something is missing.
you should set up a free consultation with a local PI lawyer

If someone is coming after you then your insurance company will provide you with an attorney who you can consult with. If you are included in any... Read more »

let your auto ins carrier take care of it.
if they said they agreed to 80% it is probably realistic.
they have the same interest as you in paying less, not more money on the claim.
they deal with these cases day in and day out and know what they are doing.

I would talk to your insurance company and let them know what's going on. Perhaps they will assign an attorney to represent you in response to the motorcyclists' attorney, or perhaps they will speak directly with their attorney.

You need to turn the papers over to your insurance company immediately. You, as an individual, are the correct party to be sued, but your insurance is there to protect you. Because you have been served court papers, you must act right away.
