[WA] Can I make insurance pay my higher repair estimates instead of their lower one?

Someone hit my car and their insurance has agreed they are at fault so the insurance is on the hook for the repairs. I have asked to just be paid a check. Their adjuster estimates the damage at $2581. I had 3 estimates done locally here in Kennewick WA and the repairs ranged from $3300 to $4300. I thought the insurance had to pay me an average of my estimates. However, the insurance company only wants to cut me a check for $ 2,581.

[WA] Can we sue our landlord for retaliation and water overcharges?

Our landlord, Mike, just filed to evict the Unit A tenants (Jason and Reanna) for nonpayment/breach. We’ve endured a year of serious nuisance, threats, and dangerous behavior from them, and Mike refused to act until now. He put Will on month-to-month after we complained and never added me to the lease despite approving my application and promising in writing. There’s only one water meter; Mike’s made us pay the entire bill for years when Unit A was empty—likely totaling $30k+. I’m trying to understand: What are my rights? Do I have grounds to sue for retaliation/breach? Can we compel the court to act faster? Does the utility overcharge qualify for damages?

[WA] How do I challenge a fabricated insubordination claim?

I lost my job in Washington State due to retaliation and discrimination, including five years of denied promotions after I refused to relocate for safety reasons. I also endured a hostile work environment with verbal abuse and consistent 2–5 hour delays in my relief times. I have witnesses. I won my initial case, but my former employer is appealing; the appeal hearing is set for July 1. I’m seeking legal advice for the appeal.
