Since I am in Alberta, I'll jump in. The answer, as always in these cases, is "it depends".
For a small claim, it really depends on how cheap the insurance company is - you often net more with a lawyer, even after the fees. I'll echo what blankall said - whether it's your insurance or the other guy's, their job is to get rid of you as quickly and as cheaply as possible...
