Expert Advice When You Need It Most

Insurance coverage.

My sister boyfriend hit her car intentionally and was probably trying to hurt her deeply. The guy has been incarcerated. However his insurance [Progressive] is saying that since the act was deliberate and intetional, they will not cover the damages to the car. Can you please advise on what I should do to try to get my car repaired?

Additional information
I did contact my own insurance company and they said that since I have liability coverage only, the loss is mine. They argued that since the person who assaulted my sister was insured there is no way I can get coverage under the Stated sponsored Uninsured Motorist coverage.
Progressive called my again yesterday and stated that given the unusual circumstances surrounding the accident (or should I say assault), they are still they are still doing their coverage investigation. They have called my sister and said they will give her 2000 dollars for her hospital bill, which I believe is peanuts. I'm aslo thinking of pressing charges against the guy who crushed my car. The car is a total loss...
