Glad to hear your wife is fine.

If the guy has a reputable ins co, you might be surprised at what they offer you. They may be rather generous with their offer to replace the Box and pay your hospital expenses, but with the stipulation of not suing them. If your wife checks out OK and there won't be lingering health issues to deal with, why not take advantage of a good offer? The ins co would much rather give you an extra $2-5K than spend hundreds of thousands of dollars in a lawsuit.

Do your homework and figure out what the various book values are and also check classified prices (the book values will probably be higher). Make sure you have the proper ammunition with you when the negotiations begin.
