If your insurance is GEICO, then GEICO has to provide a defense at no cost to you.
You have the right to hire personnal counsel and you should expect to pay $150 per hour or more with an up front retainer fee of at least $1,500.
Before you hire counsel, see if a lawsuit is actually filed. Your insurance company DOES NOT need your consent to settle with the other driver. Your option is to take your business elsewhere.
