With that kind of claim I'd just get an ARB bumper and show another light pole, car, rear bumper whos boss if it ever happens next time. Because if you ever pull a "stupid again youre going to be in this same almost 2K worth of damage or way worse next time being the stupid in all of us sneaks out for a look next time costing you big time.

Do the claim , and get and ARB bumper.
I'm attatching ctures for you. The benefit of the upgraded bumper also besides frontal crash protection is the fact everyone WILL get out of your lane eventually seeing what is in their rear view mirror behind them.

If the bumper is a little more than the cost of the stock replacement you can just pay the difference. Most insurance companies will let you do this and I have seen many people that have upgraded damaged pieces of their car/truck with something better tham OEM, and why wouldn't you??? Unless you want to be in the same scenario later or when you sell the truck if you ever do put someone else into the same situation you are now. Thats how I look at. Everyone comments me on my ARB bumper. Everyone. They think it looks B@d@ss and it is.
