As for recovering diminished value, some states do not allow for it, unfortunately. My state is an example. When I was hit, the only way I could have been compensated for it was by suing the low-life because he was uninsured, but the low-life declared bankruptcy.
Good luck with the repair, and with getting your plates, RFX.
That's a nasty dent, but should be easy to fix. Sorry about that RFX, I've been there and know how awful it feels.Man, that's the thing I hate about body damage to your car. Even if it's fixed to a satisfactory state, you'll still lose value on the car if (when) it's reported to Carfax and you try to sell it. Insurance should cover that diminished value.. although it'd be hard to calculate.
