In the same situation back in 2003. Crunched my Mercedes SLK (3.2) on both ends. I made the ins company (Farmers) buy thew car back after it had been fixed (long story) and then when sued by the car I was pushed into my insurance company settled and subrogated the loss back to the person that caused the accident. I am sure that is what happened in your case.

She ended up suing me for 45 grand because she couldn’t go to work after the accident and Gieco settled out of court for 35 grand. The cop that worked the scene was on my side. He said under oath it was not my fault and had evidence to back it up. Still lost because my insurance company said it was easier to settle then go to trial.
Get a lawyer besides your insurance company lawyer.
