First slip and fall lawsuit - any advice?

[Karen F.]

I guess it had to happen, after ten years in the business.  Just got notice of our first slip and fall lawsuit.  The tenant was at the time being evicted for non-payment of rent, was evicted, and now, about six months later, we got a letter from an injury lawyer saying that he's suing us for unspecified injuries that he claims occurred right at the time that he was being evicted.

So, I'm assuming that we just give it to the insurance and don't give it another thought, but I know the insurance will be motivated to just settle it for the deductible.  We have a $5000 deductible. We doubt that  he sustained any injury on our property, he claimed that he was having surgery on his leg about 2 weeks before he sustained the injury, he may  even have moved out before the date of the injury.  In addition, the man is on social security disability fraudulently - he works under the table as a roofer, and we have texts from him about it.

So, what do we do?  Any advice from anyone who has been through this would be welcome.
