Getting Sued By Other Victim After A Hit And Run

Location: nyc

July 4th my car was street parked and hit overnight pretty hard. My car was pushed about 3 feet, into the car that was parked in front of me. The next morning i talked to the other victim, called 911, got my police report filled out etc and then called insurance (GEICO). I did not have collision, only liability and comprehensive, which i thought would cover it. Ended up paying for the repairs to my car out of pocket after geico refused to cover any damages.

Today in the mail i find out the other victim is taking me to small claims court for the damage to his car. The hearing is in august 2027. I left geico a message on the claim, waiting to see if they will involve themselves at all

Am i right in thinking i shouldnt talk to the other victim any further? Hire a lawyer? Should i just show up and present all of this info to the judge myself? I have pics, police report, insurance claim# etc

Any advice is greatly appreciated. I dont have the $10k that this guy is after.
