Have they responded to your appraisal?
If so, and they are sticking to theirs, then your best bet would probably have a lawyer write them a letter and deal with this. Probably a couple of hours of billable time, say $500, that will likely net you at least an additional $5000 over their offer and not require any hassle or headache from you.
And if they really dig in their heals and you need to sue, then you have someone to represent you in court.
But it usually seems to be the case that once you involve a lawyer and the insurance company knows you mean business, they'll settle out of court.
