can I sue party at fault for increased expenses (replacemenmt car, insurance cost increase)

the opposing party hit my car (Paid off and low insurance - no comp/collision) and it was subsequently "totaled" by their insurance. I had to buy a replacement car and incur not only monthly payments but also a significant increase in monthly insurance cost due to the finance company's requirement to put comp/collision with minimal deductible on the replacement car. The conservatively estimated increase in p.a. expense is $5500.00 (payments and insurance increase) that I now have to pay due to this accident. Is there any way to sue for these increases in expenses.
