Re: out of time

The insurer will not settle with you for an amount that you believe is fair. The company is hoping that you will not file in time or is willing to go to trial, knowing that they will earn interest on their money while the case winds its way through the court system. I suggest that you hire an attorney soon so that the insurer knows that you are serious and that they may be at risk for a larger amount.
