Since the insurance adjuster has seen you're eager they will deliberately lowball and drag this out. Your best bet is investing a couple hundred $$s in having an attorney write them, basically your letter on his letterhead.
In my experience once an attorney gets involved the numbers automatically improve by about $5K just on the first pass. You *are* wearing a neck brace, aren't you? ;p

I thought about getting an attorney. I did open a bodily injury claim. Hitting another car going 40mph does tend to leave someone a little beat up.
Most attorneys receive 33% of your settlement though, so in my case I am not sure it would be worth it... unless I make an attorney friend really soon.
I sent my second demand letter today. I am pretty sure I am close to settling this claim soon. The bodily injury settlement is a different story though.

As a side note, I let a male friend of mine know that I was interested in buying a 370Z. He immediately began bashing the car and saying the car "wasn't me". For anyone who knew me 8 years ago (known this guy for 3), they would know that I was a Z FANATIC when I had my 300ZX. Everyone knew me for that car. It boggles my mind to think that someone actually believes that owning a car like this could damage my image. He also mentioned how sooo many of his buddies own one. Really? I drive all over the metro area and I have only seen TWO on the road, ever.
He must be jealous or maybe intimidated.
Among his comments, he also said the car was ugly. I told him, "ARE YOU KIDDING ME??!!" The lines are this car are GORGEOUS! I wasn't 100% impressed with the 350Z (body seemed more round and bubbly to me if that makes sense), but the 370Z is a head turning beast!
Anyway, it seems like a few people close to me are sort of anti-Z... for some reason I don't think I would get the same type of comments if I told them I was looking at a Camry or Altima.
