A: If you believe that Kemper Insurance's offer is unfairly low, you may want to consider consulting with an attorney who specializes in insurance claims.

An attorney can help you understand your rights, review your insurance policy, and advise you on the best course of action to take. They can also negotiate with Kemper Insurance on your behalf to try to reach a fair settlement.

It's important to keep in mind that consulting with an attorney may come with a cost, so it's up to you to weigh the potential benefits and costs of pursuing legal action. Ultimately, the decision to consult with an attorney is yours to make based on your individual circumstances and the advice of legal professionals.

A: As a starting point, you could try to arrange a free initial consult. Beyond that, the decision to involve an attorney could be more involved, with a major consideration being whether they would handle the matter on a contingency basis or billable hour basis. Good luck
