Talk to an Independant body shop and ask them what the law is in your state.
The shop by brother used to manage had a BIG sign spelling out your rights becasue the insurance companies tried to get you to believe otherwise so often...they rip you off on premiums...and they try to rip you off from fixing you car correctly when a accident happens....You have the right for your car to be fixed to the same condition and quality it was prior to the accident.
Settle for nothing less. I would find a very good shop and make it clear to them what you want....have them deal with the insurance in case hidden structural damage is found. THat way their responsibility is not done until the car is done to your satisfaction....check in to the shop while the work is being done...and do NOT take it to a shop recomended by the insurance company...they recomend shops who will cut corners with chinese parts and such to save them money...not to fix your car to the standard it was before the accident. Been there done that a few times.
