Hello all,

If you were involved in an automobile accident you need to understand your legal options. For example, if you are unable to come to a settlement with the insurance company of a driver who caused an accident in which you are involved, you may wonder how to bring a lawsuit that includes the driver's insurance company. There are specific procedures you need to follow to ensure that the court has jurisdiction over the car insurance company in question.

Request that the clerk of the court arrange to have the driver you are suing served with a copy of the petition together with a summons. The summons is a legal document advising the defendant of what she needs to do to respond to the petition. Serving the defendant brings the defendant's car insurance company into the case, again because of the provisions of the insurance policy and the applicable civil law in your state.

Thanks and Regards
