Loss/House Fire

Jan of 2010 had a house fire. Estimate on house was around $121000, contents was around $72000... Insurance company paid us $5000 back in Jan of 2010 to get started. Since then, they have now denied our claim. They have not asked for any money back that they have paid out. Now, my attorney has to sue them for our loss. Question is, can I still file this loss on my 2010 taxes under casualty and loss?
