Modded car owners: Will you be compensated for mods?

[iceminion]

I know this is slightly off topic, but my brothers car was recently in an accident, and I am in the process of getting a hold of the insurance company, I do not know what to expect from the incident.

I was driving west on 81, a tow truck was driving east on 81, its wheel fell off and smashed into me. (one in a million shot)

We just finished installing a freshly rebuilt 6-bolt 20 over, TRE Stage 2 Trans, V-Trim, and all the supporting mods.

This car was Alex's from MAP, it has NO RUST.

Needless to say that combined parts + labor, to recreate this car would be over 10 grand.

If they total it should I ask for the total it would take to recreate it?

or do you think they might fix it?

do you think I should sue for gross negligence?
