My son had an accident and had an SR22. The insurance company has paid out all they will to the other people including the hospital. Now they are threatening my son with legal action. My son is 45 years old and lives at my house because he lost everything due to the accident (car, job, income, and apartment). He is a recovering drug addict of 20 years and has '0' assets. Should he ignore the threats or look for a lawyer? He just started a job that I have to drive him to and pick him up from every day. He has agreed to pay the hospital $25 per month and has not yet responded to the threatening calls. His job barely pays enough to survive on, and I feel it is the only hope to stay off drugs. Any garnishment of his pay would lead to the loss of the job.

I was placed on PTI a year ago and completed all requirements, including paying fines. However, due to a misunderstanding with my PTI officer and missing an appointment due to a family emergency, I was reported as not completing my terms. I missed my court date and have been unable to get a response from the public defender's office. I cannot afford to hire an attorney and need to avoid jail as I have two children, one of whom requires round-the-clock care due to a serious medical condition. What can I do to resolve this situation?
