Well my Monday sucks
Got into an accident on the way to work (insurance all exchanged and settled with police report, now just waiting on the verdict. 90% chance in my favor since the other party made a left turn when I had right of way), and now I am wondering what were actually damaged, see attachment for reference...
The rough estimate, without actually seeing inside, is $8000 worth of repair for bumper, fender, tire (tire is flat), headlight, and painting. However, I am not sure if there are more things damaged like maybe the control arms or oil cooler (not sure if it's located on the right or left side).
The impact was done at 40-45 MPH against a new Jeep, so my car basically crumbled like a tin can. If anyone can offer insight on what I should be looking at in terms of damage so I can argue with my adjuster, it will be greatly appreciated.
2011 ISF.
EDIT: airbags did not deploy
EDIT 2: passenger door does not close fully without force.

- Refinished Hood
- New Fender & Liner
- Scratched Intake Box and Insurance replaced the whole unit
- New Passenger Headlight
- New grille
- New Bumper
Everything else was intact and no damage to frame or any other components. Approx cost of repair was just shy of $9000 CAD. I'm pretty sure yours will come out to be more because of the door.

Every company is different, but I think the general rule of thumb is 50-60% of the median market value or critical component damage i.e. frame, whichever first. Close call at this point though if the door is also affected (which I think is due to the fender being pushed back).
