Anyone can sue you for any reason. Yes the company can sue you and if you are found negligent per your state's laws - you would owe the judgment. If you cannot pay the judgment you can work out a payment plan with the court's approval.

Depends, if a tree falls on your car and you pay for damages yourself then no. If another party is involved in the accident then yes.

Bottom line, it's best to report to your insurance yourself and let them pay out since you're going to feel the pinch anyway.
