Is it possible for car insurance to refuse to pay and have me responsible for an accident?


I was involved in a accident in September of 2004, I hit an vehicle at speed of 10mph, there was barely any damage on other persons car, my light was damaged (paid $350, for replacement) at the time I had full coverage with certain insurance company. At the time of the accident the other party reassured the police officer and me that she is not injured, I was cited for careless driving. Later on injured party sued insurance company for 15K for loss of enjoyment of life!! But they refused to pay, now I am served with a lawsuit and I have no idea what to do!

In state of Florida the statue of limitation is unfortynately 4 years of the date of the accident. there is 10 more days left until 4 years complete. I am really bad with my finances at this time, let allone lawyers fee...

I am sure they refused to pay - as they should if the other person wasn't hurt. The lawsuit always names the driver as a defendant. If you and your insurance company loose the suit, the insurance company will pay.

Insurance companies don't pay just because someone wants them to or because someone makes a claim. You actually have to be injured and prove it before they will pay out...

I think your insurance company is liable. get in touch with a lawyer to be sure

It sounds like the statute of limitations has long expired. I think they have two years from the date of the incident to file a suit. Check your dates .
You definitely need the advice of an attorney

You need to get in contact with your insurance company - the one you had at the time of the accident. I believe that they will defend you in the suit and will pay if you are found liable. But, contact that company ASAP as it is a time sensitive matter and they only have a certain amount of time to file a reply.
