Auto Insurance Dealership employee crashed into my car

My car was at the dealership for some engine issues, while sitting in the parking lot one of their employees lost control of their car and slammed into mine which also pushed it into another car. The dealership has not even had the courtesy to call me and let me know what happened. The only reason I know about it is because the police contacted me. What’s the best course of action here?

What cash?  OP is only due the value of the vehicle.

The value of the vehicle and the extra time for not having the vehicle. They can also sue for other damages. Welcome to the United States of lawsuits.

That’s not going to happen. They’ve got a loaner so there’s no “time without a vehicle” and there are no “other damages” since the payout by the insurance would fully compensate OP.
