55. Having been a victim of this ourselves I can relate to my clients.

I went through 13 insurance adjusters on my mom's Ike claim. They all denied until I filed suit and the attorney, without looking at my claim said, "What do you want, $100,000, $150,000? I said $13,875.00. She paid it immediately.

Had an Ike business interruption claim of significant value being mediated a year and a half after the storm on the top of a 30 story local bank building. Insurance adjusters came from NY and Washington state. They were denying paying anything. Just before we split up into separate rooms for the mediator to go back and forth i had been looking out of the window at all of the blue tarps still on so many roofs. I pointed them out to the rest in the room and informed them that each blue tarp was a family still waiting to resolve their claims. They were going to be the people in our jury pool.

The adjusters later asked the mediator if what I said was true and he said yes. The case settled very quickly that day.
