Mediation is always expected to be "impartial". HOwever, as its volunatry and non-binding, if you feel its not simply make no agreement. What you can't do is insist the mediator fight your case against the insurance carrier nor agree with your position nor make the insurance carrier act in "good faith" as you determine it. If both parties don't work to settle a casein mediation it simply doesnt settle.
