Sorry to hear about your loss...I think other boarders have covered the insurance angles, but I just wanted to add that make sure Progressive covers a "comparable" rental. A Ford Fiesta from Avis is not a comparable replacement for a 987.

It can take a long time to sort these things out. My BMW convertible got rear-ended a week after purchase, from an SUV. Exterior damage was not as bad as one would think, but after removing the rear trunk and checking out the frame there was a "crumple" and the frame was somewhat bent. Anyway, it took two months and a couple of adjuster trips before I ever saw that car again. I told the rental company to put me in the nicest thing they had (an Infiniti Q45) so I was Yakuza Pimp-man for those two months and submitted the invoice to the other insurer.

It made me feel minutely better when I was writing monthly checks for a car I couldn't drive.
