Default Insurance value question

Hi, I'm wondering if someone can help me out.

Say I have a car that MY insurance company values at $10k. I spend another $5k doing a few things to it. Ok, so if I have a prang and its my fault and its a write off, then my insurance will cover me for the $10k, and I lose out on the $5k I spent.

What happens if someone else is at fault and my car becomes a write off? Will the other driver's insurance go with the value ($10k) that my insurer gave me? Would there be any way to claim back the $5k additionally spent?

I'm asking because I'm trying to figure out how important "agreed value" is on a policy.
