Why should they pay before it is determined that they even have an obligation to?

If someone sued you for damages you felt you were not liable for would you simply pay them off? I think not. But since it is a big bad insurance company you feel they should roll over and pay out regardless of there being any determination first that they even have an obligation to pay?
