Hi i need help. I was in car accident in seattle 2 years before. Due to bad weather conditions i hit the front car. The front car couple were old and
hospetalized. Frankly i was below 20 MPH, visibility was poor, it was raining continuously and i applied breaks but car got skid and hit the front car.
It was almost 2 years before, now recently i got the letter stating that the front car driver want to sue me... this info i got this from my insurance company. I am not in USA after that accident as i am from asia, left 2 months after that accident after my work assignment was over. What should i do, Can the other driver really sue me because i am not in USA. If they sue me and if they win without my presence in the trail, what would happen? Can't I go back to usa for working again? Please please help please help.

Let your insurance carrier (at the time) handle it, they will provide a defense, and more than likely it will never see the inside of a court house... | Quote: | | Can the other driver really sue me because i am not in USA |
Well sure they can..you were in the US when you hit them.. | Quote: | | If they sue me and if they win without my presence in the trail, what would happen? |
Your carrier will pay the judgement (again it will never see the court house most likely), up to your limit... | Quote: | | Can't I go back to usa for working again? Please please help please help. |
Of course you can...this isn't a criminal case, it's civil...

First off no one is prosecuting her, it's a civil case...and 'IF' and that's a giant 'IF' it did go to court, this still wouldn't be an issue, she will be rep'd by her carrier... | Quote: | | It also gives rise to a number of questions. |
I don't think it does at all the OP provided quality information... | Quote: | | Did the police report mention anything about the weather conditions |
Doesn't matter if there was three feet of ice, and no lights, if you can't control your vehicle and rearend another...(see the OP) you're at fault.. | Quote: | | Have you been stated as the party at-fault? |
Again, check the OP she states.. | Quote: | | Due to bad weather conditions i hit the front car. |
| Quote: | | i applied breaks but car got skid and hit the front car. |
Pretty much sums it up...she couldn't stop and rearended the poor old folks in front of her..
