Insurance companies seem to think everyone is too poor to wait to get paid. It is a tactic that must serve them well but when I found out the $4,000 offer on my car was all they wanted to pay, I went out and bought my 370Z and told them I now have a car and you hold nothing over me.
The law in CA at least is they have one year to settle. I was not taking any of their offers and over three months, the offer had risen to $8K, then 12K. I had them call in a referee or umpire, I forget which. Finally we settled upon over $16K.
Hang in there and they will come around.
