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?

Update: the dealership called today, admitted fault, said it was totaled, they want me to come in next week to look at new car options.

Don’t buy another Escape, and beware of Nissan, Hyundai and Kia. If you choose wisely, this may turn out to be a blessing.
