This is a problem with third party property damage cases, especially for low end cars. They aren't worth spending money on to litigate over, the inurance carrier knows this and lowballs and lawyers won't take the cases on a contingent fee, again, not financially viable. This is why its critical ot have collision coverage on your car. Your remedy is to file a lawsuit against the at fault driver for damages - though you may be throwing good money after bad doing so, unless the insurer capitulates.
