The person suing you is within the time limit to file suit. You need to put your car insurance carrier on notice asap.  This way you do not have to pay for a lawyer to defend you in court.  The insurance company will fight for your and try to settle the case within the liability limits of your policy.  If you fail to provide the insurance notice timely, or cooperate with the defense of your case, they could deny coverge and you will be stuck with the bills.  If the accident was your fault, then you must make sure your carrier is on notice so they come to bat for you.
