I suggets that if the other party with whom you were in an auto accient with accepted responsibility for causing the mishap and now there is a $4,000 claim against you in return, you need to immediately contact the presumed claims representative that you have with your insurance carrier and tender the claim to it in writing and follow up with your insurance carrier each week about it to avoid a default.
