My unoccupied parked car was hit and totaled by a man who fell asleep at the wheel. It was a 2017 model I purchased new. His insurance company paid $13,000 (their fair market value). I purchased GAP insurance BUT they didn't pay the car off, leaving an $1800 balance. I now can't finance another vehicle until that loan is paid off I'm told by the dealership. I can't afford to do that. Now I'm left with nothing. Nothing to drive, no transportation to and from work etc. My daughter has to help me everyday. I had a great new car and this accident has created a living nightmare for me. Do I have any legal recourse to be compensated for the horrible situation I'm left in?
