Hello. I urge you to have an attorney assist you in this matter. The attorney will discuss with you the full facts of the occurrence and provide you with legal advice as to your rights and possible defenses. Some attorneys, myself included, are available seven days for emergency legal needs. Many attorneys will confer initially at no charge. Then, if legal work is performed, some attorneys, myself included, will provide a reduced fee for financial hardship. Some attorneys, myself included, may also assist you in limited scope manner to conserve legal costs. All the best.
