You've got few options. First, if your car was properly insured, then use your own insurance to take care if your claim. This will be the fastest way of getting you back to where you need to be.

Second, hire a lawyer to pursue the other driver.

Third, if your claim is limited to property damage only, and the amount is less than $10k, sue the person who totaled your car in the small claims court.

You can also rent a car and attach the bill as part of your damages.
