Legal Question in Insurance Law in Virginia

Automobile totaled in an accident

My husband was hit by a dump truck and his truck was totaled. Is there a way to get the insurance company to pay above and beyond the blue book or salvage price. The dump truck driver was charged with reckless driving and the truck itself had numerous violations as well.
