Legal Question in Personal Injury in California

My boyfriend and I bought a car together in 2009, the car was immediately paid off in cash, my share was $2500 while his was only $300. The title of the car was in his name though since I was insured in his name. My name shows no where on the car documentation, but he confessed via text message that he is well aware of what my share and what his share of the car was. In 2010 after we broke up (and I forgot to chage the title to my name since it was right after our brake up, I had my own insurance though), I was in an accident, it was not my fault, the car was totaled and the insurance paid much more than the car was worth in the first place, about $ 5000. Since the title was still in his name, the insurance money went to him and he gave me my share ($2500) but kept the rest of the insurance money, knowingly that he put in only $300. If I take this case to small claims court, will I have any chance to win since the title was in his name, but I bought and maintained it, and can prove so? Thank you
