Auto Accident Compensation

[Espee]

I am in the process of selling my car. The person who is buying the car totalled it before finishing the payments. I hold the pink slip and the insurance is in my name. The buyer only had 1000 dollars left to pay. I will be getting a check from the person's at fault insurance company for the accident. My question is, the check from the insurance company will be more than a thousand dollars. Can I keep all of the money legally since the buyer did not finish paying for the car and everything is in my name?
