Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in Ohio

Rental car hit by unliscensed/uninsured driver. Rental car company wants the rest of my deductible (400.00) sent Bill to collections. Progressive insurance talked to the cars owner who has a license (she let the person who hit me borrow the car) refuses to pay so now they expect me to. Is there anything I can do? This happened in Cleveland Ohio and the other person was at fault.
