I am being summoned to Court for an accident that I was involved in 5yrs ago. How

can I beat this case? The accident was my fault and it involved two other cars we went to court and I remembered I was giving a warning since I had no accidents on my record. My insurance as far as I know repaired the other cars involved. After 5 yrs am being served to show up in court and the Plaintiff is claiming $4,803.38 plus costs. According to the Plaintiff I was driving carelessly and in a negligent manner. But what happened was it was raining that day and my braked failed me as a result I smashed into a car at the light which also smashed into a car in front of it. I want to know how can I beat this case. Thanks.
The accident took place on july 12th 2005 and being sued by the plaintiff for damage to his car. Has the statue of limitation in Illinois for this case expired?
