I live in NJ and I am 20 years old, I have NJ Manufacturers insurance but the car was registered under my father's name. I was in an accident 2 years ago where a car ran a red light and totalled my car. The car that hit me was a station wagon and didn't have any significant damage. Due to no fault and no witnesses, we were left to pay for our own damage because the other driver claimed I ran the red light. He had 4 or 5 passengers but when I went to ask them if any injury had occurred, they said no and left after the police report was filed but BEFORE the ambulance came to check me out. I was uninjured but nervous but shaken up a bit cause this was my first accident. Two years later, the other driver has filed a civil suit against me claiming I injured him, and I have been told to contact his attorney. He waited until 3 days before the statute of limitations ran out to file, and I highly doubt he was injured in the accident, but I don't know what to expect. Will I be paying for this?
