A driver destroyed my parked car and their insurance has been giving the runaround for weeks - what do I do? Insurance

The other cars insurance (Farmers) said they accept responsibility but not much else, and have left my car in paid city street parking, leaking oil, both axles snapped in half. It's only a matter of time until parking tickets and a $600 tow to impound occurs. I've missed days of work and have to get rides to work from friends. I only have liability insurance (AAA), so when I called my insurance they said they couldn't help whatsoever.

I feel like Farmers is ignoring me as a bullying tactic before lowballing some settlement, hoping I'm exhausted. I don't know what to do.

I can only relay what I learned from my insurance when I discussed my options with them. This was in CA

You must not have explained it properly to them or misunderstood what they told you. You can Google for yourself that it's an at fault state.
