Speaking of accidents, I loaned a rare convertible pickup I own (one of 909 made) to my dad last year because he is broke and his car fell apart. I gave him explicit instructions that only he was to drive it, only when he absolutely needed to, and that he was to maintain insurance on it while he has it. About 2 weeks ago he completely ignored my instructions and loaned the truck to my loser deadbeat drug-abusing half brother who is in his mid-20's and has already totaled out the only two cars and motorcycle that he has owned. Well guess what, I get a call not from my dad but from the insurance company (thank goodness I kept insurance on it) to verify a claim I knew nothing about. Yup, that little turd wrecked the beautiful truck I have owned since 1990 (bought it new and had to have it shipped from another state as it was a rare blue color almost impossible to find) that was in amazing original survivor condition. It's totaled. Oh man I can't tell you how angry I am! And when I called my dad all he could say was "oh no how am I going to get around now" absolutely zero remorse over what he did to ME, only how it was going to affect him. ARRRRRGH. Oh and did I mention he dropped the insurance on it last year and didn't tell me?????
Anyway hope yours can be repaired, or that you find a nice replacement for it!
