What has been your worst experiences with unreasonable defense counsel (PI) and insurance carriers?

My attorney and I are both shocked at how unreasonable the insurance carrier and OC have been regarding potential settlement of a product liability case. Causation is clear, and damages are fairly high, but OC seems to be telling insurance that case is defensible. OC originally claimed that the scene wouldn't have been disturbed by fire department, and that user error was to blame, but firefighters will testify to support our claims. That was the only possible defense (really strong liability evidence) and OC has withdrawn medical experts.

OC and carrier still seem dead-set on trial (four months away) and we can't figure out why.
