Take it to a dealership with a good reputation, their service department will handle most of it with the insurance company.

I had liability on my bike and still do, a dude pulled out in front of me and I clipped him, claim was all on his insurance. Let the local dealership handle most of the BS, told the service department I WANTED the bike totaled out and there was enough damaged parts for that to happen. Insurance company totaled it out, I "bought" it back and got a check for $4500. Zip tied the plastics and fixed a few select parts with new and got it inspected by State highway patrol ($50) and was golden. I still ride her till this day
