What happens if you're sued and can't pay?
Depends upon how willing the other party is to work with you on a payment plan. If they're unwilling, and you can't/don't pay, then they'll have to seek other means of enforcing the settlement or judgment. That can include garnering your wages (if you have a job or get one later), putting a lien on any property you own (car, home, etc.), possibly forcing a sale of property you own, putting a levy on any bank accounts, levying your tax refunds (if any), etc. And there's no requirement that they do this right away . . . if they have a judgment, it's typically good for about 10 years (will vary by jurisdiction) and can be extended. So, they could sit on it for quite a while, then go after property, bank accounts, wages, etc. once you have them (and the amount will be accruing interest the whole time).
