Totaled A Rental Car Given To Me By Body Repair Shop

Hello, so 7 months ago my car was hit and i brought it to a repair shop. after about a month of waiting for them to finish my car and calling daily (the damage was minor), they agreed to give me a rental car WITHOUT making me sign anything, they just threw me the keys.

Flash forward now 6 months later I still had the rental car because somehow my car is still in there shop, and about a day ago while It was parked in a parking lot a situation happened where someone ended up ramming the rental car from the back smashing it into other cars and totaling it. I was not behind the wheel and wasn’t even in the car.

Edit: It was a hit and run by the driver who rammed into me, and the police were not helping whatsover

It happened on a friday night and the shop is closed till tomorrow so I haven’t been able to speak to the mechanic shop. The car got towed away and i’m 90% sure it’s totaled.

I’m wondering would I be at fault for this? how would it play out? I’m looking into it and it seems to see the fact I never signed for the rental takes me outta responsibility and should allow me to get my car back or at least work with them to not leave them completely f’d over

Location: Newyork.
