Call a lawyer, and threaten a lawsuit! I had to have a lawyer write a letter to an insurance company once to scare them into doing the right thing. They were going to "kiss me off" until they got the letter from the lawyer. They ended up paying me $2500.00 for a loss that they were first going to ignore. I think I paid the lawyer $50.00 for the office consultation and another $50.00 for writing the letter. It was $100.00 well spent. In spite of all of the ads on tv that try to make insurance companies seem all warm and fuzzy, they can really be cut throat. The only thing that scares them is the threat of a lawsuit where they would have to face a jury where they would be painted as a big, bullying, faceless multinational corporation trying to take advantage of a poor soul down on his/her luck.
