You sue the other driver. His insurance company's denial is not a legal or binding determination: it is simply their opinion that for some reason, they dont' think they need to pay your claim; therefore, they are not voluntarily offering you anything--all offers made without you suing and winning are voluntary, so the insurer can decide to not make the offer. (Note also that the police's opinion is not a binding legal determination, either, though it can be very useful evidence of fault; therefore, the insurer or a court is not required to find the other driver at fault simply because the police did.)
Your recourse then is to sue the other driver; if you can prove in court that she was at fault, then you can get a judgment requiring her to pay for your provable losses or damages. At that point, the driver or her insurer should pay. Good luck.
