You really need to speak to an attorney, rather than ask for answers here. Because state laws vary dramatically, what might be true for one person might not be valid information for you.

I'm not an attorney and your question is a little confusing. Why were your license suspended? If you were not held liable as the driver of the vehicle or charged for allowing your son to violate a state law. Usually there are criminal offenses and civil offenses. Your license would be suspended for violating a state law or failing to make a court appearance when summoned. As for the civil aspect being the money, you should check your states statute of limitations to see if time has expired for the civil suit. I would contact an attorney, for the civil case but I would not take the bluff that they can suspend your license for a civil matter. I say again that's it confusing the suspension without a violation of a criminal/or traffic law, insurance can celled, hit and run or leaving the scene?

If he is your son, and he were underage with no insurance. they would go after you as your son has no money! You never said what happened to the other person, and how can they make a judgment against you if you don't know about it in the first place! These aren't held in secret!
If this is the first you have heard of it, their statute of limitations might be up, especially if they have taken no action legally!
Most states, when they find out there is a claim against a person, especially if non-insured, will pull your license until you have made arrangements to pay.
You still have an appeal to motor vehicle. Once you have let that appeal time elapse, you will have no recourse!

Lawyers can ask for anything they want and they will try to intimidate you. The facts are that a civil trial with a monetary judgment against you is the only way he can hope to get money from you. In order for them to collect, you must have assets that can be seized. Didn't you or your son have auto insurance. In most States, an accident without insurance, regardless of fault, is grounds for a license suspension. Was your son of age and responsible for his own actions?

You MAY be financially responsible for damages if your son was at fault. I don't believe your drivers license is at risk. If the state was going to suspend your license, they would have done so at the time. I seriously doubt they can prove $100,000 in damages. If the could, why wait 4 years to sue? You should probably talk to an attorney.

i in my view have self belief that the government could retest Seniors at a undeniable element or scientific situation. I wish that docs might have the means to document to the government and enable them to decide on approximately no count if or no longer somebody (anybody) could force. inspite of the undeniable fact that, yet another element to contemplate is that many seniors have not got families or human beings to help them get around and in rural aspects there's no public transportation. they might have not got any decision. on an identical time as the $3.00 theory is cool, (we've not got something like that the place I stay) $3.00 x 4 cases a week is $12.00, then church on Sunday it extremely is $3.00, then to the drugstore as quickly as a month $3.00, then food market 2 cases a month, thats as much as $24.00. maximum Seniors that have not got the different skill of economic help different than SSecurity can not handle to pay for the $3.00 a visit. I artwork at a financial company and that i will aid you already know many, many seniors have not got that kind of money. many cases their drugs are greater suitable than they get in keeping with month. it extremely is a tragic subject each and each of ways around.

this makes no sense. This might be a scam. I would not trust this at all. Some collection agencies try to pass themselves as official businesses, when in fact they are not. I would contact a lawyer, immediately.

typical insurance company action to attempt to recover from
someone - anyone actually. You do need a lawyer but I think
you should be able to free yourself from that bs
