It isn't right. You will likely have to sue the insurance company to get them to pay, but they should have to pay 100%. If your case involved personal injuries, you can find any local attorney to handle your case for nothing out of your pocket. If there were no injuries and only property damage, you won't be able to find a lawyer unless you pay them out of your pocket. Still, if you were not personally injured, but need to file suit, you can do so in small claims court if the damage to your car amounts to less than $5,000.
