They have an amount that they're going to pay. And it's a range, not a set in stone number. You can go for the lawyer, which is good advice, but it costs money. Try letting a man talk to them, someone on your side. I know that might sound sexist, but it often works. Be polite, just tell them that it isn't enough to cover your costs and that they need to cover the costs.
