It is not clear if there actually was a lawsuit filed against you which resulted in a judgment.  If that is the case, the law in Kansas is that the prevailing party has 5 years to collect on the judgment.  However, in Kansas, the time period is renewable at the court's discretion.  In other words, this can go on for quite some time or for the rest of your life.  If there never was a lawsuit, the statute of limitations for a claim against the responsible party to an auto accident for both property damage and bodily injury is 2 years, and you would be off the hook.  If a lawsuit was filed within the statute of limitations, but never pursued, you can usually file a motion to dismiss the lawsuit after a year.  If that is the case, speak to an attorney for assistance.
