Glad to hear you were not injured!
This is really bad luck.. living on the country I can relate that having no car and no public transportation to speak of, is a problem.
But the insurance should pay the amount of money to get you a similar car, even if it is a financial "write-off". They (or better the other's insurance) should even pay to rent a car for the time off, until you have another one.
Pff I wish you good luck, this is always a chore even without having done anything wrong.
