Do not ignore it. Go to court. They can not put you in jail for owing money but they can for contempt of court. Explain you problem to the judge and he'll help you unless you do this all the time.

Can a person get served to appear in court for an unpaid bill?

That depends on what you mean by "served to appear in court". If you received a summons and complaint on an unpaid bill, you are required to file a written answer to the complaint and file it within a certain time period. You will not be summoned to appear in court in the same way that you would have to appear on a traffic ticket that requires a court appearance. Of course, on the unpaid bill, if you do not show up on any scheduled trial date, a judgment will probably be entered against you for at least the amount of the bill. You will not be arrested for not showing up for a civil matter.
