Near settlement/ saw letter with their bottom line

This is work comp. My attorney and the Co. attorney were preparing evidance for trial. The attorneys left the room. I continued to look through the files and came across a letter. It stated that the company attorney was faxing the insurance co. they believed my case would settle for $90,000 more than we had asked for. While the attorneys were out of the room I copied that letter for my attorney.

I realize it is unethical for me to have done that and my attorney was freaked out. However, its alot of money for me to walk away from.

I now want to increase my settlement offer based on knowing this.

What would you do? The settlement time period is still open. We have anothe MSC in the upcoming months.

What does your attorney think. If you don't like what he/she has to say consult another attorney.
