Very little other than the leverage of simply refusing to pay and saying "sue me." While there is no inherent obligation for you to settle any claim there is equally no obligation on the part of the other party not to sue for whatever damages were caused. THIS is why its critical to hire a lawyer to negotiate with the other party, even though it might cost more than the difference between the estimates.
