The other thought I had was the OP stated he had 14000 miles on the tires.
My rears never got more than 10000 miles before being slick as a baby's bottom, at least with the N rated OEM tires. The PS2's did a lot better.
I have trouble with 5 minutes before the accident there were 4 tires with 14000 miles on them, and somehow 5 minutes after the accident, you deserve 4 brand new tires?
Making you "whole" would be giving you back 4 tires with 14000 miles on them, IMHO.
I think you're coming out ahead as it stands with them replacing 2.

Maybe it was a typo and it read 1400 miles.

True. 14,000 miles on the tires means they all needed to be replaced pretty soon anyway. 1,400 means they're not 30% used up and the new ones should work fine with the old ones.
BUT, in my opinion, if there's plenty of life left on the tires and the accident was the other driver's fault, then replacing all four of your tires is just that guy's insurance company paying the cost of insuring a customer who hit a high-end car.
If the accident was your fault, I wouldn't **** off my agent by pressing the issue on the two extra tires.
Just my two cents.
