Hi Annette,

It is unfortunate that things like this happens. You have to get your insurance company involved asap. This woman is making injury claims against you that you did not cause. Your insurance company must be able to defend you directly or with an attorney.

You have to dispute both liability(fault) and damages (damages to the car, and whatever injury she is making). Also you need to see how you are going to get your car fix.

As mentioned above, the first step is to get your insurance company involved. You also need to make sure your insurance company is defining your rights and protecting you. Sometimes they don't do that.
