I was forced to attempt a panic stop. while driving a 2005 Mercury Mariner. the gas and brake pedals are too close so I hit both when trying to stop

attempted rapid stop resulting from a small package delivery truck that rapid stopped trying to then "back up into" the driveway. there were 2 other cars between him and I and both of them had to panic stop also, the car in front of me had to use the shoulder to avoid hitting the car in front of him. when I attempted to stop I hit both the brake and gas pedal at the same time because the pedals are too close. this caused me to have to swerve all the way off the road and didn't stop until I glanced off the front of the house nearby. what? if anything. can I do? aside from paying the $3.6k to repair my car and that price doesn't include painting it
