So am I being sued, or is my former insurance company?

Your insurance company hired a law firm to represent your case in an accident or some other pending legal action. The firm technically represents you both by default.

"it means 1-you will win, 2- you will receive approximately one tenth of the settlement, 3- the lawyer will receive nine tenths of the settlement."
Ha! What?? This one made me laugh...whose *** did you pull that out of?? 90% contingency fee? Guess what - if he was hired by the insurance company, I seriously doubt he's getting any amount on contingency...and nobody ever gets 90%. Another person who hates attorneys until he needs one.
To answer your question, the insurance company hired the attorney to handle the case, because they are required to. Be careful who he represents, though - he does not neccessarily represent you, and may really have the company's interests at heart.
You should probably hire your own attorney.
