Got Sued for about 330K ... shockin amount ... Need advice
About 2 years ago, when I was a stupid teen I got into an accident with TTC. I was fully at fault since I failed to stop at the stop sign and due to bad timing a TTC bus was just passing by in a perpendicular direction.
In the result of the collision my dad's 2003 Accord got ride off. I could have died since the bus hit me from the driver side, many called it a miracle that I was 100% healthy. However someone in the bus was apparently injured and was taken away by paramedics.
I really thought that the crisis was over till just now that I received a "statement of Claim" in which the plaintiff claims against me, my dad, TTC and the bus driver for:
- the sum of 750K for general damages
- the sum of 250K for special damages
- prejudgment intrest on all sums awarded from sep28,1999 to the date of payment or judgment pursuant to the provision of section 138 of the courts of justice act, 1984;
- their costs of this action; and
- post-judgment intrest on all sums awarded from the date of judgment herein to date of payment pursuant to the provision of section 139 of the courts of Justice Act, 1984;
I have 20 days to defend this claim and I should react soon.
And I really am horrified at the moment  and absolutely hate myself for what happened, however I wanna deal with this myself and I need some help and advice.
Basically any input would be appreciated.
