<prompt> Human: Long time lurker first time poster, advise needed and thanks for readingSo 3 years ago i was in a car accident with somebody. He was driving over the speedlimit on a icy road and could not brake in time and ended up hitting my tail. Everything went fine and no one got hurt. We filled in the insurance papers and went our way. Couple months later the insurances talked it out and told me that i was in the right and closed the case. I got my money, fixed my car happy ending. Atleast thats what i tought.3 years later i get a note from the court that im being summoned because the guy is suing me. He changed the whole story saying that i tried to pass him from left and tried to slide my car into a parking wich is impossible because the road was way to small to fit 2 cars next to each other and he had no time to react. He even changed some information on the original insurance papers and tried to make it look like it was my fault. So i call my insurance and tell them that he is trying to get free money from me and they told me not to worry and they will go to court for me and defend the case. Now i got another note stating that we lost the case because no one showed up to court. I called my insurance again asking them what happend and they said that they are gonna pay the guy because they are to scared to defend because they think the guy will win anyways. But they never paid him and now my bank accounts are frozen. When i called the insurance again i get a lady on the phone and ask her to put me trough to the guy who has been helping me and she does. Then the phonecall disconnects and i think o well it happens and call back. Then i get the same lady on the phone and when i asked for the guy again, she told me she doesnt know anybody by that name?? and when i asked again she told me he is on vacation and will be back on monday.I personally think that they forgot to go to the court meeting and now im getting screwed over, any advise on what i can do now and is there a possibility i can get back to these people? guy suing me and insurance Edit : thank you all for the tips and information! I will talk to my attorney about the situation and if I have anything that I can share, I will let you know! Thanks again! Assistant: Despite what a handful of people are telling you here, if you have what a judge will see as an excusable reason for not attending the hearing you can file appeal paperwork generally within 30 days of missing the hearing to explain your reasoning and essentially have a do over.If your story is true then yes you should be contacting an attorney on this and going from there, if you can prove all of your story you should be able to get the judgement thrown out and the person who sued you can also be on the hook for your attorney fees, missed work, and pain and suffering if you want to try and push it that far. Source: Have been through a somewhat similar situation. Human: Thank you for the info! Ill talk to my attorney about it and see how far i can push. I really dont want that the guy gets payed. Hope your case went well!  <response>: Not a problem, just deal with the attorneys, and yes my case did go in my favor :-
