Fortunately no one seriously injured. Suspect he was uninsured. Will find out tomorrow.
At this point it awaits evaluation for damage by adjuster. Car only 4 months old and less than 4000 miles. Aarrgh. Those that have more knowledge than I please offers opinions as to what to push for. Should I expect it will be totaled or repaired? With that force of impact I would imagine structural damage. Thx
Glad to hear you came out of it unscathed!

Is it your car or leased? If leased, are you into it for a large downpayment?

Either way, do you have a "like for like" replacement (often called "New Car Replacement") with your insurance? I did with All State insurance so we pushed for a write-off by ensuring every single element or possible element of damage was accounted for and its replacement/repair cost considered in the final repair bill. That approach got us over the line and All State bought me a new car as opposed to returning some Frankenstein's monster to me.
