What if I’m being sued for the same accident?
If that’s the case, such as in a motor vehicle accident, your own insurance will defend you against the other party’s claim in the same way the defendant’s insurance defends him/her against your claim. My representation only relates to recovering from the defendant, not defending against his/her claim; however, in this instance, your insurance and I would work together since what one does or doesn’t do may affect the other’s case. And, while being sued is nerve-racking, in a personal injury context, it could have some added benefits such as your insurance company paying for experts, records, etc, which we could use for free in our case, thus riding on your insurance’s coattails.
