If the at-fault party's insurance carrier denies your claim, your only recourse is to sue the other driver for negligence.
You can file your lawsuit in small claims court.
Your damages (monetary compensation you are seeking in your lawsuit) would include cost of repairs to your car and upon prevailing, court costs. Court costs include the court filing fee and process server fee.
