You *MUST* read this article written by Derek Drew on how he got his
rightfully deserved $$ from the insurance company:

I have some photos up of the damage to my vanagon:

What can I do to pursue this further?  How likely is the adjuster to deal
with me?  What can I threaten to encourage her to deal?  While getting
$2000 and no salvage title would be fine, I think I can live with $1650 and
a regular title.  I don't know if I can even get that at this point...

My original post on the accident is below.
