What amI entitled to if I was hit by a drunk driver and my truck was totaled?

I had just parked at a friend’s and turned of my car. My husband had just purchased it for me 3 weeks earlier. I was hit by a drunk driver and it was totaled. The insured was the father. Before this happened I had planned to go to the state my mom lives in because she suffered from cancer an was not doing well. This accident set me back and stranded me at home for 2 weeks. I finally made it to my mom’s only 3 days before she died. He took those weeks away from me and my mom. What can I do? My insurer paid off my truck ans is going after their insurance. Am I entitled to anything else?
