After an accident, not only is car repair expensive but so are medical claims that have been accumulated after an auto accident if you are injured.  

The more insurance companies involved, the more complicated the process becomes.  If you’re in a situation where multiple car insurance companies are involved or your injuries will only be covered by a third party (the other person's insurance); working with your health insurance to cover very expensive medical care can get confusing.  

This is when you may need to get the assistance of an attorney.  Often times third party insurance companies tell you that car repair and medical expenses will be paid by them easily, but in the end, they do not pay medical professionals and those professionals then expect payment from you.  

Remember, If you are not insured by the person that hit you, their insurance company has no urgency or responsibility to pay for your medical or car repairs.   

When you are injured after an accident, the last thing you want to do is negotiate with an insurance that doesn't insure you, they insure the person who hit you and have interest in saving money and not paying out.  Better to focus on healing and let someone else deal with the stress of payments. 

An attorney will be able to help negotiate a higher settlement for you and explain the process in terms that you will understand.  A good attorney will be invaluable in helping you settle a claim. Be aware, however, that once you hire an attorney, your ability to communicate with the insurance companies will be limited and in most cases and the attorney automatically gets 1/3 of all settlement funds.
