At some point, ask to talk to a GEICO claims adjuster supervisor and ask what Geico does when a non-insured makes a diminished value claim. A few insurance companies have a company policy defined process for dealing with such claims, e.g. they ask the insured to get a diminished value appraisal to start the process. If Geico has a process and the company paying for the repairs refuses to pay diminished value, then follow the Geico process to determine diminished value and that is what you sue for. Note: Any lawyer fees and appraisal fees are your responsibility and will NOT be reimbursed even if you sue.
If Geico does not have a process and it looks like you will have to sue the at-fault driver, post here when the time comes and I will provide more info on suit prep.
