Answer
Hi Flora,

This is a difficult situation. About the only thing you can do is to contact your county or state attorney who is handling the charges against this person. You should ask is there is the possibility of getting a restitution order. If so, you will have to privide repair estimates. You should also ask for the cost of a rental car during the repairs. Unfortunately, the person at fault likely has no money and may only be ordered to pay $20.00 per month until it is paid.

I hope this helps
