I am trying to negotiate a settlement with a risk management company about medical malpractice, the hospital has pretty much admitted wrong doing, we haven't even seen a bill. I have given the adjuster all the medical records he has asked for but refuse to sign a release of info. He has not been returning my calls and involving an attorney won't necessarily mean a bigger settlement, what should I do?

Sign the release of info.
Your claim is going nowhere without it. Even if it goes to court, that will be the first thing that has to be done.
Keep in mind, most of the time this isn't going to settle, until AFTER a lawsuit is filed. Technically, with professional liabiility insurance, there is no claim, until there are suit papers. Until the papers, it's just a complaint.
It's not like car insurance. They have no duty of good faith towards you, and don't mind if the statute of limitations flat out expires for your claim.
