Yes. Third party insurers are NOT obligated to settle or offer money just because a claimant wants some. Seems they have called you on the negotiation carpet and you will now have to file suit. THIS is one of the prime reasons that you should have hired a lawyer to handle the issue from the start. YOu need to hire a lawyer immediately.
