Big companies troll all the time.. ALL the time.. trust me on this one.. lawyer letters are scary indeed.. but I bet if you called the atty office and told them where you got the image, that you immediately removed it, had no knowledge it was a copyright item, they might just say OK.. we're done then..

I'm so sorry this happened to you. Even though I vaguely know about copyright infringement I still really never thought that some company or some person was randomly trolling the internet to catch people. When I had my website redesigned last year my web guy gave me the link to Shutterstock and for a very low one-time charge (I think it was $49) I was able to download 12 royalty-free images. I can use those images that I purchased in any way I want to promote my business. They've since changed the plan and you can now purchase 5 images for $49 in any 12-month period. Still well worth the peace of mind.

What I got was a letter from Getty Images legal dept. It looks legit. Spoke to a lawyer who would charge me $500 to deal with them and then I may still have to pay. I think I will have to speak to Getty and see if I can reduce the $ and pay that.
