So.....any idea of what I could expect as an offer from the insurance company (scenario below)

I was driving to work (rush hour DFW) and noticed a dry cleaner's van swerving and having inconsistent speed because he was ****ing texting. I get around him and down the road. Well, about 10 minutes down the freeway, the traffic bottlenecks like it does every morning. It slows down, then opens up, and then slows down again.

During the second slow down, I look in my rear view and see a BMW SUV braking into the shoulder. The SUV wasn't driving too fast and had a gap so I wonder what the **** is going on. Then before I even had a chance to find out what was going on, the dickhead in the dry cleaner's van slammed into. He was probably doing 30-40 MPH while I was doing about 10 (I was in 1st gear and slowing down). He hits me and then bounces off of me into a car in the middle lane.

As you can see from the pics in the detailing thread, the guy bent (possibly broke) the rear lower control arm on my passenger rear wheel. Trashed the wheel and ripped a gash in the tire.

I have an appointment with a lawyer on Wednesday. I have been to the doctor and only have muscle injuries.

So can I stick it to them because the ****stick was texting?
Can I make them replace all 4 tires? I had Michelin Pilot Sports on it. I don't want to have one new, stickier tire and 3 tires at the end of their life.
I'm was about $6k positive between what the car is worth and what I owe. I was planning on trading it in this spring.

Edit: I'm pretty good at playing the insurance game already. Just trying to figure out what's reasonable from someone who may have had a similar situation.
