Mercedes didn't settle right away when my mom sued them when her airbag did not deploy in a 1989 260E (head on collision). After 5 years Mercedes finally did settle before the trial date.

That is a whole different issue, it's not an insurance claim.

And if you lose, your loss will be greater than that of the insurance company.
