Ugghhh.. I am sorry to hear that dude. I would press hard to get the insurance to pay for it. Its a mistake. Thats the point of insurance. People make mistakes and accidents happen. I a just glad you are okay.
I had a 2014 nissan sentra with 150,000 miles and a dying transmission.. with an insurance claim is was worth $6,000. I ultimately only got $1,000 from car max for it.
I was seriously thinking about driving it in to some water somewhere or leaving it in a flood area where I knew it would get totaled.
