A pedestrian was crossing in the cross walk against a 'Don't Walk' signal, and I was proceeding through the intersection on my bicycle. The pedestrian saw me coming and unexpectedly stopped in her tracks, which caused me to collide with her sending us both to the ground. She struck her head, and there was a small amount of blood coming from an unidentifiable wound on her scalp. An ambulance was called, and she was taken away.
I recently received a letter stating that she's retained a lawyer to pursue a personal injury claim, stating that I 'failed to operate my bicycle in a safe and secure manner causing our client to be hit and thrown to the ground by your bicycle sustaining, among other things, serious and permanent injuries.' What can a defense attorney do for me?
Additional information
Unfortunately I don't have any insurance... what are my options? Thanks for the responses I have literally no insurance, and my assets are likely not to exceed $5,000. What are the consequences of waiting until I get sued, as compared to hiring an attorney now? Answers (5)Jason Eric Kipness
This attorney is licensed in Texas.

You need to immediately report this accident to you auto insurance company and request they appoint you a defense attorney.
