How to collect if my car was totaled pursuant to a carjacking?

I was recently carjacked. After a high speed chase, the car was totaled into the side of a business. The 17 year old had to be extracted by the “jaws of life”. The insurance won’t pay a dime due to no comprehensive something or other. Whom do I sue? The victim’s advocate only covers medical and pain andsuffering, no property loss. The perp is 17 and I doubt I’ll ever see anything signifant from him, even if the courts order restitution.
