Has anyone dealt with something like this? I'm not sure what my options are.

insurance company denying valid claim. I've been dealing with this for about 8 weeks now and the situation isn't improving.

I have already consulted briefly with a lawyer but did not get a clear answer.

This happened to me too. Have you tried filing a complaint with the relevant agency? In my case they investigated and it got resolved without needing a lawyer.
