. If you don't go through his insurance, you might not get anything
without a court order, but I think the first thing the judge would ask
is if you submitted a claim to the ins company, if you say no.... he
may not be very sympathetic. Take the car to three separate dealership
body shops to get an estimate {they will be the highest} then when you
get your payout, take it to a local garage thats probably going to
charge you half that.
