what kind of insuracne do you have, do you have a police report, if they do total then its up to you to buy it back or let it be totaled and you get a check for blue book value
have you gone through these steps yet, police report, contact insurance, tow it to a shop, insuracne adjustor estimate, contacts you back, any of these??
if not then ya need to do this its impossible to give estimates online

i know your pain. i did the same exact thing about 4-5 months ago in my camaro. i'll never stay up a couple days straight and then try to drive for an hour (by myself and with no radio) ever again. luckily with the height of the guard rail i hit, only the very top of the rims contacted, resulting in quite a bit of curb rash, which just looks like i cant parallel park. i didnt go through insurance though. i just payed out of pocket for another door and rear view mirror from a salvage yard, and a new fender from a place nearby, and the body shop that installed the parts/ repainted the car pulled out and fixed the quarter panel which was by far the worst part.
