Lawsuit!

How to Handle a Potential Lawsuit

The moment you have an indication that you may be named in a law suit, you should contact your insurance company (usually through the agent/broker). The insurer has the legal right to advise you, research the situation, take pre-emptive action, and be prepared for what may come next. To delay may be violating the terms of the contract.

Look at it like this... if you loan your car to a friend, wouldn't you like to know about any damage sooner than later so you can prepare or make arrangements to get to work tomorrow?

You have paid the insurance company to defend you... it's in your best interest to help them do that.
