Getting a letter or call from a lawyer or insurance company after a car accident indicates a claim against you for injuries or property damage caused to the other party. If you had any car insurance at the time of the accident, regardless of coverage type or limits, forward the letter to your insurance company immediately. Your insurance will provide a lawyer to defend the case and pay a judgment or settlement up to your policy limits. You don't need to hire your lawyer; cooperating with your insurance company is essential to maintain coverage. Notify your insurance company about the accident, inform them of any claims or letters received, and cooperate with them throughout the process to ensure continued coverage.
