Legal Question in Insurance Law in Florida

I was just recently in a car accident with my boyfriend in January, in which I almost died. I am only 19, he is 20. We only had the basic car insurance, and the people we hit went through their car insurance to get their loss of wages back, etc. Now they sent him a letter saying they want the money back they paid the other family, which is 56000$. Me and my boyfriend are both in college as well. Can they legally do this, or is it just a scare tactic?

If you were at fault in the accident, the other parties' insurance company can come after you to be paid for what they paid their policy holder. You will need to defend. Please do not ignore the letter, and please retain an attorney ASAP to protect your rights.
