Wrong. Its claimed under compensation due to the nature of the event of a failure.
Its just like if the motor exploded and the car caught fire.
I would probably agree with Johnbradley and say the car is totaled.
Your replacing the transmission as a whole or maybe just the housing.
New clutch and flywheels
Front end overhaul including new bumper and hood latch
New radiator
New shortblock possibly longblock (can't tell if head is damaged)
New crossmember
Lots of small engine related parts
new hood
That will easily put the cost of repair over ten grand.
And fwiw a scattershield would have only saved a quarter of the damage which isn't the expensive part of it.
Good luck with proceeding but I would probably consider your car a total loss at this point and your insurance will increase if you decide to claim this. Im sorry to hear about the event.

Just the body work can be close to 5-6k at this level with parts and labor.
Then you have a minimum of a factory shortblock (possibly long block) 2500-5600
Labor on engine/tranny- 1500-2500
Then all the things you mentioned
etc.
it adds up really really fast.
Did you find any pieces of the pressure plate ? I see flywheel and clutch. The heat marks on the flywheel look really strange for a fresh clutch install. This looks like to pressure plate broke apart and took everything with it.
BTW Exedy Twin disk use a chrome-moly flywheel which is much stronger . One of the reasons it cost.

I am not sure if you mean core support when you said hood latch, but its the whole front end sheetmetal that needs replaced

wow... ur def very lucky to be alive. some good pics of the damage, id say i agree with everyone else...
prolly either spec or the flywheel but you cant rule out the install, not just yet.
dont worry it will work out Zfred, **** happens and it sorts itself out
