Then, you will seek a civil remedy for the remainder--and accept a payment plan--if it was not your fault. However, if your car was totalled and you still owe money on it, then you will have to keep making payments until it is paid off. If the wreck was your fault and the other person is coming up short, then you may be sued for the remainder, unless you make a settlement agreement (make sure you get legal advice if this is the case).
