My question involves an accident that occurred in the state of: California
We were involved in a traffic accident where we are rear ended by another vehicle. I had a bump/concussion to my head and had to be transported to the hospital in ambulance, where as the other driver was walking around the scene of accident checking his vehicle, talking to the cops and so on. The cop who came to the accident gave the report that "it was our fault". The driver who rear ended us is suing us now and is claiming an amount higher than what we are insured for. At present the insurance company is defending the case. We are not sure if we should hire our own lawyer or can proceed with the lawyer provided by our insurance company?
Also if the case was settled outside the court for an amount higher than what I am insured for, will I be notified and asked for approval by the insurance lawyer?
Any inputs are appreciated.
