More details to this question:
I was involved in a acccident 10/31/2015 in Ohio. the accident was not my fault and I would like compensation for my wrecked 1997 ford F-150. This occured in Evendale Ohio. Allstate Insurance was my insurance company. They told me the man driving the other car was not insured and that i might consider small claims court. His was a Hertz rental car.

Allstate has given you the correct advice. Allstate should pay for the damages in excess of your deductible. Amall claims court is the appropriate place to sue because legal fees would likely exceed your deductible. One caveat is that collecting a small claims court judgment can be difficult, especially if the defendant has nothing to collect against. Sometimes the cost of your time can exceed what you might be able to collect.
