Electric company negligently turned off my power and ruined my new fridge? Aren't they accountable?

I bought a new fridge on Sept 12, 2009. On Oct 6, I left for a 3 week vacation. On Oct 8th, the power company negligently (without any reason) disconnected my power. I returned home on Oct 23rd to find a horrible stench in my home. My fridge was full of maggots, flies and 3 inches of rotten blood. I have cleaned if multiple times with multiple products, but it still wreaks!! I can't open it without gagging. The electric company has admitted all fault in this matter, but they will only give me $200 for my trouble. This seems like a ridiculous offer. My fridge is brand new and now unusable. Do I have any rights in this matter? BTW, I live in Texas.
