You can tell the difference between deer/dog type hits and

Your damage is not that bad. You likely bent a tie rod or control arm if the steering is off. If there is structural damage it can be fixed by a shop with a frame rack good as new. Check your door gaps if the passenger side is really tight and the driver door and fender gap is huge. You need frame work.

I got a trailer hitch threw the front end back in January. Needed a new hood, front bumper cover and filler, radiator support and the frame was a tad bit bent so they put that back straight. It happend cuz the butt head in front of me stopped short at this stop light out of now where. It cost $4500 to have it put back together and painted at the chevy dealer down the road. Problem is that the car ain't the same anymore. It is not lined up 100% in the front anymore.

Dude ur gonna have to claim...ur rates will go up, but hopefully ur 21 or 25 soon...i didn't look. But I'd claim it, then make sure they do a real good inspection on the car to make sure there's no frame damage. You'll be pretty happy when it's fixed i think.
