proper compensation
make sure you get proper compensation for it. state farm is a bitch. basically he's at fault for rear-ending you. there shouldn't be any question at all.
make sure you take it to your body shop.
if the frame/quarter panel is bent that will severely damage the resale value of your car. i got rear ended with my G. needed a new back bumper, trunk bottom, bent quarter panel and the frame had to be pulled straight. you might need the same. to make sure your quarter panels are not bent run you hand over the rear pillar and the area below. at first i didn't know it was bent until the adjuster pointed it out. then i could see. a year later this "bend" in the quarter panel turned up again. (make sure your body shop offers lifetime on all of their paint, body, and mechanical.
if i were you i would take it to an import/body shop where you could get a few "extras" thrown in with the repair.
also, see a doctor or chiropractor. i hate the idea of ambulance chasing but i was rear ended pretty bad. i really didn't have any problems with whiplash, but there was a muscle in my back that became aggravated. it took over a year for that aggravation to go away. got 3 gs out of that but some of my friends said i could have received more if the issue were pushed.
