Dog is microchipped and I was contacted by a Humane Society in Morristown, TN saying they found my dog. I have reason to believe and evidence proving she was in fact stolen. When she first went missing I had lost posters all over and was never contacted until now, 7 years after the fact.

If it's not your fault and you were hurt, you have an injury case and may get medical benefits off of the insurance, so I'd check that out first before you sue the insurance.Talk to a member of the Kentucky Justice Association. They give free consultations.
