Take your car to the dealer or the most expensive body shop you can find to get an estimate. Insurance is going to give you a number based on used , refurbished parts and cut rate labor numbers they pulled out of their butt. I just went through this with Progressive. They tried to say they could find a front bumper for 360.00 and a grill for alittle less for a 2017 Titan XD. They use a hole in the wall parts company that says they can get the parts at that price. When I called them on it they cut my check at what is about right. Don't take the first number because they leave float for error , and dont do a photo estimate because there are small items that coukd cost a grip that cant be seen.

I'm glad no one was hurt... The most important thing.

If you do end up lawyering up and going to court, make sure that your lawyer understands that your dash cam has done some low-light filtering and processing, and the video may be much more clear than your sight picture that night. Don't trust that a lawyer will be tech savvy (probably best to assume that he doesn't even know how to check his email)
