It all depends on the insurance company im afraid, I was in a very similar accident and the person at fault had geico. Repair bill was somewhere around 7k, I called up after to file diminished value claim and they cut me a check for ~4k in a few days with no hassle. From what I heard from the body shop that did my work, I got lucky. Some insurance companies you have to take them to court over the issue. Might want to look into hiring a lawyer.
