A: Your recourse is with your comprehensive/collision insurer; or, with the person who totaled your car, but good luck collecting from them.
A:
MORE INFO NEEDED
I WOULD PUT IT THROUGH MY AUTO INS CO AND LET THEM GO AFTER PARTY AT FAULT.
A: If the individual is charged talk to the DA's office about an order of restitution, but Mr. Light & Mr. Gribow are correct--as far as getting money NOW your best bet is use your collision coverage if you have it.
