The reason insurance companies freak out when independent lawyers become involved is they assume a lawsuit is looming, which completely changes how the settlement is determined. My friend was rear-ended by an ambulance on the freeway, years ago, in a leased Integra. The ambulance's insurance company contacted him immediately about proceeding with the claim, but for some reason he decided to hire a lawyer. Once the insurance company found out, their tone completely changed.
