Default Destroyed my rear axle

Got in an accident, ended up destroying my driver side rear axle :/ now I gotta pay 500 big ones to get it fixed. Since it's on insurance imma have them fix all the dents that the previous owner put in them

I'll post pics when I can. I'm fine, so is the rest of the body of the car, except for my rims and tires. When the tow guy came to pick it up, he was like "wow I've never heard a Lexus sound like that" as he was referring to my exhaust.

It was mine, I didn't hit any other cars. I tried to powerslide out of a turn and overcorrected and ended up hitting the curb
