More details to this question:
My insurance paid for my car and their insurance paid for theirs. Now fast forwarded to 2 years later and the other insurance company is suing me for damages, served me with court papers. My old insurance company (I no longer have them since the accident) sent a lawyer to represent me.

Disputed liability. Let the insurance companies fight it out.

Part of your insurance contract is that the carrier will provide counsel if you are sued. So fully cooperate with your counsel and you should be OK.

It doesn't make sense to me either. The lawyer assigned to you should be able to explain it, though. Good luck.
