So, it sounds like the "market price" they "offer" you would be somewhat lower than say the trade-in value of the car?
How do they come up with number? Can you dispute it if you feel it is too way too low?

For example if you buy a car from new, the first year's rate of depreciation is much higher than the annualised rate of depreciation over the first two years of ownership.

Did the police attent the scene and confirm he was above the permissible drinking level. If they did, then you are in the clear and this should not affect your insurance claims record at all.
Here in the UK the insurance should pay the market value of the car just before the accident. You can always dispitue any figure wih the i9nsurance. I did this by looking at adverts by private or trade sellers. They would ususally do the right thing especially if the car is less than 3 years old.
I am glad your are OK and that's all what matters. Goodluck with the car and I hope all works for the best.
