When I sued a realtor a few years ago, the fact that he avoided process service just made me more aggressive. Every dime he cost me by avoiding service I recouped. I ended up going from certified mail, to paying the county sheriff, to hiring a private process server. The cost of each was simply added on to the total for the settlement he was avoiding paying. When he defaulted on his payment schedule, I did not hesitate to pay the fees for a bench warrant--which were added to the cost of the settlement.

It doesn't sound like they are suing you here as much as deposing you. If that's the case, I don't see any benefit in avoiding service. The attorneys involved may get more aggressive if they get sick of you, and you may find yourself compelled to give a deposition at a time inconvenient to you, rather than having them work around your schedule.

Now, if you think you may be liable, my advice is to quit your job (they know where you work), buy a different car, dye your hair, and start your life on the run.
