sorry to hear that man. do complain to the Agent at Allstate. it's possible to get more $ out of this incident.
rental car expense + days of taking time off (you can get reimbursed by the insurance company after you burn your pto) + go to the hospital forsure (get some neck, back treatments)..
i'd make sure that the shop uses OEM parts only
- family member works in the insurance field

So it wasn't considered a total after all? Congrats on the coverage, that's always good news when dealing with insurance companies.

So I thought I'd update you guys with some pics, I've had the car well over a month however but the work was done to my expectations, The guys @ impressive auto know did a good job. Also installed some Miro 111's 19's all around 8.5 up front and 9.5 in the rears
This was the hit side, excuse the mess it's garbage day
Everything lines up, the trim could be a little better IMO

Glad to see it's back together looking good again!
What an idiotic argument! If you weren't there, you'd have been somewhere else, and probably in harm's way too. Your premium is based on how many miles you drive among other things, so how can they penalize you for driving around? Sometimes lawyers are just idiots, making whatever argument serves their needs whether it's logical or not.
Usually - except in states with comparative negligence laws. Simply stated, that means that if you (even though you had the right of way) were not there, the accident would not have happened. I know that because I had a civil claim reduced 15% because after some inexperienced driver ran a stop sign and totaled my car and caused serious injuries to ME .... the settlement paid out at 85% because if I hadn't been there I wouldn't have been hit by the careless driver.

Any idea on what your carfax will say now and the effect on the value of the car?
I have similar damage on drivers side due to near head-on collision, avoided but took the hit down the drivers side.
Police found the other drivers car the next day, so I'm working through all state now.
Initial estimate is $6400 but they haven't removed the doors yet. Dropping it off today at a BMW certified repair center, and seeing an orthopedist for my shoulder pain.
