Remember to go after "diminished value" with whoever's insurance you file against. My SS Sedan was peppered with gravel from a gravel truck that was driving too fast (his load shifted as he was making an aggressive high speed turn and peppered my passenger side with gravel) and a few years ago some idiot woman rear ended me at a slow speed because she wasn't paying attention. When getting my vehicle appraised (trying to sell it privately before my Camaro order comes in to compare vs trade-in value) my Carfax shows those incidents and I've seen about $10K less than market value for it. Even if you have no intention of selling it, do yourself a favor as your car is now going to show that it was involved in an accident.
