Sounds like there is a great negotiator in our midst.  Optimism that  
creates an even disposition and a never give up attitude will serve  
you well in negotiating with an insurance company.   Remember that in  
the corporate world, no man is autonomous;  all answer to someone, and  
in insurance and finance that is probably once a week.  Unsettled  
claims are a thorn in the side of the adjuster, especially trying to  
clear things out on Friday so that claim is not still on the list  
Monday.  :> )  So keep sending emails and letters with new data you  
dig up or a new way of describing something.  I know a couple of large  
corporations where the Chairman sees every letter addressed to him and  
approves the answer.

If you keep real issues open and in dispute you may get help from  
places you did not expect.  Ask for more money when you come across  
something you neglected to include in your original appraisal, or less  
if there was an error, just so there is correspondence on your claim  
that may get reviewed by a V.P. with the clout to direct settlement.

Don't neglect any opportunity to mention just whose negligence  caused  
the collision (not accident).  Call the adjuster every time you have a  
new little piece of information, etc.  Call a lot when you know he  
isn't in his office as well as when he is.  You got it-act like you  
work for a collection agency-after all, they do owe you money.
