What to do if I struck a pedestrian with a vehicle without being insured?
I went to court and got a verdict and thought it was over. Now a law firm representing be struck pedestrian’s insurance company is looking to collect an absurd amount of money I don’t have.

The matter that you have written about shows why all motorists in this country should have automobilr insurance while operating a vehicle. What has happened is that the insurance carrier for the person that you struck is seeking reimbursement from you (called subrogation) for monies paid on behalf if its insured.
I suggest that you consult with a personal injury defense attorney that practices in the area of bankruptcy law to give you some legal options to try and resolve the matter you have written about.
