It's not your job to fix the often broken legal system. Your job is surveying (or whatever you do). You would have been much better off just tendering it to your insurance (that's what you pay for), and moving on to focusing on your business, instead of some useless legal crusade.
Your atty needs to be very careful about how he approaches settlement. To be honest, he doesn't sound like the most sophisticated atty out there, I think he has given you tons of bad advice/mis-advice/non-advice in this case. Raising the issue of a settlement is a very delicate task. If done with a ham-fist, he can make your situation a lot worse. Your well-funded adversary can very likely smell blood and go for the jugular.
