I paid for the truck and offered to pay the medical bills. Then one son sued for $10,000. The judge had me pay for the medical bills. Now they want me to pay for the father and other son’s bills.

If you were at fault in the accident, you are liable for the injuries of all occupants of the vehicle that was not at fault. Your liability includes the medical bills, pain and suffering which is an amount in addition to the medical bills, and wage loss.
