I just recently got into an accident myself but nobody else was involved. You can see pictures and read about ithere

The original estimate for the damage was for about $3500. When it was all said and done the total bill was $6000. Had this been part of the original estimate they would have totaled my car I'm sure. The total value of my car is around $12K and the repairs were half the value. And my accident wasn't that bad. What pushed it over the original estimate the most was that the coolant reservoir was cracked and they had to send it to the porsche dealership to fix that.

Best of luck to ya. Hope you come out on top.
