One can easily be liable without calling the police. I'm not sure from the description if you were innocent or at fault, but it is best to report this accident to your insurgence company.
Mother-in-law is paying higher premium with car insurance because car insurance is claiming that she is responsible for her deceased husband’s car accidents. How is this fair? She was not the driver responsible causing these accidents.

Not fair but you can always try another insurance company if you don't like the rates you're getting

I never got to accident wasnt me in car never gave anyone permission dont know how this could have happened.

If it was your car that was involved in the accident there generally is a presumption that you were the one driving unless you can prove otherwise. I suggest hiring a good lawyer.

If you have seriously been diagnosed with a concussion from a medical doctor and you have back pain, I recommend getting to a doctor and a lawyer and not accept $1,100.00 .

Possibly and that is up to a judge. For example in NJ an accident requires damage and if $250.00 or more damage occurs by law if you did not report it you are presumed to have knowledge of the accident and can be issued a ticket for leaving the scene of an accident. $250.00 is a very low...

I live in Florida and separated spouse took a vehicle I owned out of state (NJ)...allowed another person to drive... had an accident... the injured party is suing...my name is listed...as a potential defendant because the vehicle was registered to me...I have about 30 days to respond.

Call your insurance company and let them know you are being sued. They will most likely assign you counsel. If the vehicle was uninsured you will have to get counsel on your own and to defend against the lawsuit.

You can always ask the police officer to change the police report but other than that there's not much you can do. Hiring a lawyer would cost more than what you would save.
