Legal Question in Personal Injury in Florida

I had a rental car parked on my private property and the neighbor kid hit it, causing damage, with an electric scooter. The mom agrees to pay for just the cost of damages but not the loss of use, admin fees, and diminution of value. The admin fees were imposed because the claim was processed in Kansas City, MO by a damage dept. and not the local rental office. They processed all paperwork and ultimately performed all other administrative duties throughout the process. The diminution of value was calculated by whomever the rental company uses to determine this. She says he's responsible only for the damage and not all related charges (although these charges were a direct result of the damage I otherwise wouldn't have incurred) under some state law. Is this true or should I file a suit in small claims court? Also, can I sue and likely collect the filing fees as well?
