Legal Question in Traffic Law in Ohio

Responsibility

In 1986 I had a MVA accident due to hydroplaning and then hitting a guardrail (denting it). There was no other damage and no one else was involved. I called the State Patrol and reported the accident. The car was borrowed. The owner had no insurance. I did have insurance, but my company said it was the responsibility of the owner of the car for the damage to the guardrail. Now the Attorney General has appointed a special counsel to collect a debt for damage to the guardrail FROM ME. 20 years later. What are my rights and responsibilities?
