you have to file with your insurance company, they will fight for you with the other company as your company doesn't want to pay. Also, because this is a Comprehensive claim, it can't affect your rates. Regardless, your companies lawyers will go after Budget's lawyers, that's what you pay them for.
Report it immediately.
