This is an "economic" question, not a legal one--i.e. how much is at stake? If the insurer is looking for, say, $3,000 or less, you'd almost never want an attorney--you'd spend more on the lawyer than you could hope to save. If the insurer is looking for more than $10,000, you'd definitely want an attorney to help you--your potential savings would be well worth the investment. Between $3,000 and $10,000, you *probably* want a lawyer, but if you're comfortable handing business negotiations yourself, it would not be unreasonable for you to speak directly with the insurer.
IMPORTANT NOTICE: The Answer(s) provided above are for general information only. The attorney providing the answer was not serving as the attorney for the person submitting the question or in any attorney-client relationship with such person. Laws may vary from state to state, and sometimes change. Tiny variations in the facts, or a fact not set forth in a question, often can change a legal outcome or an attorney's conclusion. Although AttorneyPages.com has verified the attorney was admitted to practice law in at least one jurisdiction, he or she may not be authorized to practice law in the jurisdiction referred to in the question, nor is he or she necessarily experienced in the area of the law involved. Unlike the information in the Answer(s) above, upon which you should NOT rely, for personal advice you can rely upon we suggest you retain an attorney to represent you.
