That's called "Witness Tampering" and it's a major issue. I'd bring that up with your attorney, and make sure it's addressed in court when you go.

It would be a real gem if you had recorded the phone call made by the driver that caused the accident. That would really put his butt on the burner.

2 years ago I witnessed a man crossing a road get hit and killed by an oncoming car. I filled out the report for the officers that showed up and was contacted a few days later by an insurance company involved. Initially I said I would speak to them, but wanted to talk to my lawyer first. As I work for a pretty big law firm in CT, I sought the advice of one of the partners that used to handle a lot of personal injury work. Basically, it was at my discretion if I spoke to anyone further. I never received any notice from anyone after I called the insurance guy back and cancelled. I can see what more I can find out as far as your liability at this point, but Mike's question regarding how you were served is a good point. If it was not "proper" service, you may be clear.

As an aside, I am not surprised the court had things somewhat wrong. I know as far as CT goes, the courts employ some of the biggest morons the general public has to offer.
