It's possible you had uninsured motorist coverage in your insurance policy. You should make a claim under that provision. You can also file a lawsuit against the driver of the other vehicle for the amount of damages to your vehicle, the rental, and your deductible. However, if she didn't have insurance, you must weigh the likelihood of ever collecting on a judgment compared to the time and money such a lawsuit would cost you.
