against me for car accident? I had an accident about 2 years ago and i already told my insurance about it. Insurance company already setteled for property damage. so my question is, am i responsible to get my own lawyer when the plaintiff filed a lawsuit on me for personal injury? or is it the insurance company's problem??? cuz i got a summon from a court and I already forwarded it to my insurance company?? i just got infuriated when a summon arrived on the last day of 2nd anniversary of the accident. theyre asking for a lot of compensations, which is more than what I have in my liablity insurance. The accident involved three cars. I was yielding, I thought the up coming car was far enough. Unfortunately it was not far enough and it hit her car which hit the third person's (who filed the lawsuit) car. The person who filed a lawsuit had minor damage to his car and didn't go to the hospital immediately. He is askin for disabilities, hospital fees and so on.... I need opinions about whether I need to hire my own lawyer or not. Should I just rely on Insurance Company lawyer to defend?

Any suggestion will be helpful. Thank you.
