Your property damage claim (cost of repairs to your vehicle) should have been filed with the at-fault party's insurance carrier.
Your recourse for denial of your claim is to sue the at-fault party for negligence.  Your damages (monetary compensation you are seeking in your lawsuit) are the cost of repairs to your vehicle.  
You may also have a bad faith claim against the at-fault party's insurance carrier depending on the reason why your claim was denied.
