Your question is very hard to follow. It sounds like you were driving a car that your boss or her business owned, and that you were involved in a two vehicle accident. If you got a "court order," you must have been sued. If you were sued, you should have turned the matter over to your... View More

I assume you sought medical treatment for your injuries after the accident. (If you haven't, see a physician immediately). Follow your doctor's advice.
