If the other driver was deemed at fault by law enforcement for making an incorrect stop at a green light where as a result you rear ended the other driver causing damages to your vehicle but the insurance carrier for the other driver will not pay for your damages, you have the following options:
1. make a claim to your own insurance carrier assuming you have one for the damages needed to be repaired, or;
2. bring a legal action against the driver of the other car seeking damages for the repair of your vehicle.
