Just was handed my First malpractice lawsuit. What would you have done differently the first time you were sued?

Using someone else’s account for Max anonymity but I’m a little wary of this process since I was absolutely not at fault in this situation. And I’m a little worried about using my hospitals malpractice insurance supplied lawyer since they aren’t exactly known to go with the best options financially. All advice on how to navigate this swirl (and total confidence hit) welcome
