Hi. If you were insured at the time of the accident, you should contact the insurance company that insured your car at the time of the accident. They would be resonsible for litigating your suit. Otherwise, you will have to defend on your own.

You are responsible for the negligence of whomever you allow to drive your car. There are some limitations. You might contact the insurance company so that they know that you have nothing for them to get.
