Ny Underage Dwi Hit My Two Parked Cars In Front Of House

Location: New York, Long Island

Last night 2:53am -18 year old underage DWI hit two cars in front of my house- he got arrested immediately. Both cars totaled for sure, I am worried about him not having enough insurance coverage to pay for these two vehicles. One is a 2025 Kia (approx $24k) and the other was a 2011 Hyundai sonata. He also took out my mailbox, I have it all on video. It’s a holiday weekend so insurance won’t get back to me till Tuesday atleast. So I’m out wages, transportation, so far. Two cars towed and stored all weekend at auto body. Tuesday hoping his insurance Atleast offers a rental vehicle ( I would need 2 as these both were my 2 daughters cars so no car for work and school) Should I fill out a Suffolk county restitution with the Suffolk DA in case insurance won’t cover all the damages. Or how can I be sure I will be able to get this all recovered. Do I have to sue the parents? How does this all work? This is my worst nightmare with my girls being young drivers and now I feel horrible this kid basically really made a bad decision and caused all this trouble for himself and my family. Thank you for any input anyone can share. I am hoping there is maybe a similar situation with a happy ending. This is a nightmare for me and my girls. Thank you!!
