My bike had a traumatic week... Wednesday morning when I was heading to work I was sitting at a red light behind an ambulance when suddenly the ambulance went into reverse and started to back up on me. My frantic horn blowing and scramble to back up the bike to avoid a collision were unsuccessful. The back end of the ambulance came up over the front tire and fender, at which point I abandoned the bike to avoid injury. Bike fell on the right side, mirror snapped off, fender is bent and dented and touching front tire, rear brake seems stuck, a few scratches.
I'm pretty bummed, not to mention currently without a vehicle now. Most troubling, I'm finding myself in my mid-thirties with no idea how to deal with insurance or where to get repairs made. Anyone have any experience? Odds of the bike being totaled? Should I have it towed to a dealer for repairs? (Seems you have to go like 40 minutes outside of Seattle for such services) Are there non-cosmetic damages I should be concerned about that might affect rideability?

Sorry if this is off topic!
