I'm going to take a guess and say you're just one of the parties this feller is claiming against. In all likelihood, the thrust of the claim is against the guy who rear ended him, and you're named as a party to the lawsuit due to the fact you were involved in the crash. Basically, I think that naming you as a defendant in the suit stems only from the fact you were involved in the accident, rather than any actual fault on your part.
I would have thought this would be handled by your insurance company though.
With respect to the forms, typically you should file original copies with the court. This does not mean, however, that you have to deliver them in person. It might be prudent to send them by courier though - so you can confirm they were received. I would call the registry in question and ask.
