Your insurance company will probably take care of it, as long as you have the coverage to do so.

My parents were sued about 10 years ago. They run their own business and a lady wrote them a bad check. It was for a large sum of money. After several month the lady never paid, so my parents turned it over to the police and she was arrested on felony charges. The lady sued for $500k claiming mental distress for having been arrested and spending a night in jail. Her lawyer was one of these piece of crap TV lawyers. My parents' insurance company ended up providing their own lawyer, and after two years, they settled for $10k to avoid a trial. My parents never spent a dime on any of this (other than maintaining their insurance). It was very distressing, however.

Good luck, dmek.
