Legal Question in Insurance Law in California

insurance co suggests I get an attorney

I was in a car accident in which my insurance co says I am at fault (other guy ran a red and we hit). My policy only covers $5000 for the damages to the other driver. They determined that the other person's damages are over $5000. They wrote that I ''may'' want to get an attorney. What would be the benefit of hiring an attorney versus settling it by ourselves.

Re: insurance co suggests I get an attorney

your own attorney can pressure the insurance company to settle for the $5000 if they can.
