Make sure you get a diminished value claim from the trucks insurance company too. When you go to sell, you'll be taking a $10k hit most likely, over a car that does not have damage.
Any idea how diminished value works? USAA said its something you do after the car is fixed. I haven't been in a accident in 30 years. Not sure what to expect from insurance anymore.

After the car is fixed entirely you go through a DV attorney.

Make sure rear quarter panel is replaced and not repaired
new door skin is obvious
new rim, not repaired

diminished value - since whole side will be painted and rear quarter replaced, start high. Find a company and hire now so they can look at car pre and post repair

Looks like it might be a couple weeks before an adjuster even looks at it. On the us side....I was hit by a semi in a tiny 911 and the car saved my ***! I will want another one no matter what happens. Great cars
