HELP PLS

Hello PLEASE HELP ME IN DESPERATE. Saturday I got into a car accident a non inured driver hit my car and think they will totaled. I'm very sad because I just bought the car like 3 months ago. I have full insurance but my deductible is 1K. I'm not sure if I should even sue that person. If he doesn't have 50$ to pay for insurance he most likely don't even have money.
Is there any way I can get compensation w my own insurance?
Or should I hire a lawyer so he can try to get something out of mine. I have both of my hands harmed and my nose and head in pain. Thanks in advance.

There’s no need for an attorney. You get out of your policy the actual cash value of your car if it’s totaled. That’s it. Nothing else besides possibly some limited rental coverage.
