Your recourse would be to sue the insurer for "breach of contract": if you can show that under the terms of the coverage you bought (an insurance policy is a contract) as well as the facts (i.e. the extent of damage, the recommendation(s) of body shops, etc.) they should be paying for more extenstive repairs, you can get a court judgment or order requiring them to do so. You have to show that they are violating their policy/contractual obligationsby not paying more.
