No, you can't. But as your attorney, what we can do is position your case so that if the insurance company does not offer fair money that is acceptable to you, then we will present the case to a jury. A settlement takes two sides agreeing on an amount. Sometimes the insurance company just doesn't agree with the plaintiff on a case value (or vice versa). In those situations, it is up to a jury to decide who is at fault and the compensation to be paid to the injured party.
