This process and take days and even weeks to complete. I totally feel for the OP in this situation. Please post more damage pictures and of course pics when it is repaired!

Not quite as painful in MA. He files the claim through his own insurance company, and his insurance adjuster will come and take a look at it to estimate the amount of damage or declare it a total loss (obviously not in this case). Repairs can be started immediately at the repair shop of his own choosing, any further damages discovered during the repair process are covered by an adjustment claim from the repair shop.
You don't have to pay any out of pocket, his own insurance company will be going after the other party's insurance for the full amount.
