Had an accident and looking for advice on what's broken

Jasper, it seems that the transmission oil that you saw it came when the shaft was pulled from the gearbox, actually does not look bad at all! You want to clean it properly, install an new oil seal and push back the axle into the gearbox when replacing the damaged suspension parts.

Again after you receive the the insurance decision, you will want to remove the broken (and bent) suspensions pieces, would not be surprised if you can get it on the road for not too much money.

Can you still decline the insurance (repair/write off) and fix it by yourself? This way the car will have a clean title..

PS: Why don't you get the car on jack stands, and take several pictures of the damaged suspension components..?
