> Lawyers often get involved. They do? Whose? And when? I'll confess I have very little experience in this area. I'd imagine that only happens when the people involved in the accident want to go after an insurance company for denying a claim or not paying the full agreed upon amount. In fact the only time I've ever heard of it in my life was when my ex sued the insurance company for trying to get away with covering less than 10% of her medical bills following an accident that had totaled both cars and left the at-fault driver dead. I don't think lawyers are common in most trivial accidents- I don't know how accurate it is to say that lawyers often get involved.
