2.5 years ago, my Father rear-ended someone who in turn rear-ended someone else. Minor damage, no injuries. Last car brought a lawsuit against both, now the other is suing us after 2.5 years. My Dad passed away last year. As far as I know, everything in my Dad's estate was put in my Mom's or both of our names using an attorney.
Do we really need a attorney for this or just let the insurance company handle it?
We keep the car insurance company because we feel if we drop the car, they won't care as much.

You should let your dad's automobile liability insurance carrier handle the defense of the suit. They will retain an attorney to defend your dad's estate if need be. Keeping with this insurance company in hopes that they would care more about the suit is not logical. If you find a cheaper insurance company for the same coverage, you should go with less expensive coverage.
