today i got a letter from an attorney that was assigned by my insurance company. the letter basically told me that i have been sued for a civil action.
it was back in sep. 2000 when I hit a pick up truck on state route while i fell asleep on the road to my monthly drill (when i was in reserve). it was the minorest accident you can imagine. none of us got any injury.i didn't wear seatbelt, but only thing happened to me was my head hit on the wind shild which woke me up. it was just a light bump. my car's hood collided with the pick up truck's read bumper. my hood was bend; so was his read bumper.
it was literally just bend- later my insurance company paid them $500 for the repair of their truck (a married couple).
later i drove that car for a month without problem, then i sold it.
weeks after i went on the hearing in the court. i was fined $85 for improper driving which was monir than reckless driving or even speeding. (speeding subtract 4 points, improper driving subtracts 3 points.)
two years later, today, i found that these two people, each filed a motion of judgement against me. one claims a total of $150,000 (compensatory and punitive), the other claims a total of $400,000 from me.
beside nearly freaking out and trying to know what to do next, i worry that will this case negatively affect my application?
will the app asks me have i commited a crime or, have been guilty in any court ruling?
please help me!
