law suit need advice

I had an accident a while ago... basicly what happend on a intersection
me going south and a guy turned right in front of me... there is a question about what was the light at that time. I looked before crossing but the road turns and there were cars etc.... so pretty much im unsure
anyway to the guy comming the oposite way turns right in front of me. The cops get make the report.... they dont give me the paper with the describtion (me noob doesnt know about this) later I find out that the cops put that he had a green arrow where on that intersection there were no turn arrows... so the insurance denies the claim... I get a law suit.... now he was first asking for 50k (he has no insurance,lives in a poor part of the town and didnt have his seatbelts on) now Im kinda worried that in court he might ask for more money(over 100k) which would more then my liability insurance is (100/300/100). Should I be worried? If I would loose the case should I expect to have to pay extra on top of what the insurance pays him?
