Other means of serving defendant who refuses certified mail from court

Involved in a MVC where other driver at fault according to officer on scene even thought he did not state that in PD report will subpoena. Other driver states on scene he veered back into my lane stated on PD report. Their insurer declined payment of my damage $1,000 saying no negligence on part of their driver. Started suit but court states letter non-deliverable. Driver’s insurer is listed at present address served. Researched and states person does not have to accept letter. Researched person and appears they have a business near by and will send new court letter there. If rejected there also, how can I pursue this if they don’t accept letter?

You should have a process server serve the defendant with your summons and complaint (complaint is the lawsuit).
You can find process servers online or in the Yellow Pages listed under attorney services. Also, have the process server file the proof of service with the court.
