accident damage claim

Ok back story am driving a century with 1.5 mil miles ony first trip with new carrier was hit by driver asleep at wheel
His words to the cops not mine
Ambulance behind me stopped and gave a statement now the fun part this is ca and i signed up for physical damage at carrier plus my insurance. With ooida has not expires my carrier suggested i put truck in body shop they use and subjegate claim ooida said might want to deal direct with other party insurance or can deal with them too
Allready 700 for hazmat and roadcall to isolate the ruptured tank and fuel parts through dealer should be about 4 k min not painted 1400 is for door that got dinged so might b a tad inflated but it seems to me we are very close to book value

Question is should i deal with ooida my carrier and their pd policy or try to cut a deal with other ins direct and other party was a company pu with commercial ins

And for the record this sucks

 

Nope going attorney route had major back sirgery 14 yrs ago now area around scar hurts like heck and is swollen. Lucky me

 

That was my plan til i realized how swollen mt back was very afraid my back surgery got undone so of to ortho soon as this load delivers mon ......last surgery cost me 100k in medical and a really rough year in recovery i so dont want to do this again and that was 14 years ago hate to think what it would cost to redo it

 

What do ten years have to do with two day old aaccident
