Jim, Sorry to hear about this problem and hope you can repair the damage quickly.
You need to find out how to create proper photographic evidence, such that if it goes that far, the photos can be submitted into evidence. IIRC digital photos could not be used, because it is easy to manipulate them, however this may have changed in recent years. I'm sure you've already done this, but check for other damage the impact may have caused to alloy wheels and suspension components, so everything can be included in any case you build. I think Matthew is knowledgeable in this area, so it might be worth getting in contact with him.
