I'm located in Youngstown Florida Near Panama city. This is from Hurricane Micheal that hit Florida!
I have mediation scheduled in a few days with the insurance company. Are attorneys claims adjuster that came out and looked at are house 8 months ago said it was roughly $105,000 worth of damage. The insurance company that i am suing called my attorney and offered to settle for $15,000 i said no. They called back that same day and said they would settle for $50,000 i said no. My attorney said $50,000 would be a good deal. I feel like she is trying to close they case and just get paid. Realistically what can i ask for, i dont know what i can get? My attorney gets paid separate from my settlement and they are getting $20,000 thats for now if it goes longer i'm sure they would make more.
I just feel like i'm being taken advantage of and neither my attorney or the insurance company cares. Its been almost a year and i'm ready for this to be over but i dont want to leave money on the table from lack of knowledge and experience. My attorney has been pretty good and she is willing to keep fighting and not pressuring me at all to say yes. I'm looking for any advice before i go to mediation or tips etc. Thanks so much!
