I am sorry but NO WAY you are getting a new car. That is minor sheet metal damage. Easily fixed. Door skin (maybe a new door), new quarter panel, new rocker panel, some paint and a new front wheel. Sorry. Roll with the punches and the car will be 100% fine if fixed by a good shop. I would demand you take the car where YOU want to have the repair done but you'll never get a new car out of that. I can't believe you even think you will.
Likely the same thing will happen to the cop that would happen to any of us for getting into an ACCIDENT. He will get a ticket and go on with life. It happens. Ease up. And fradulant medical claims... don't go there. If the airbags didnt deply and the car isnt that bad your "whiplash" claim isnt going to stand up.
Easy ways to tell the car is fine:
1. no broken glass
2. air bags didnt deploy
3. the passenger window is still seated so the door is not out of whack
4. nothing appears to have bent the wheels. the first two pics look like the wheel/fender gap is off in the front but the third pic it looks fine.
5. the gap between the front fender and door is even.
6. you obviously drove it somewhere after the accident b/c its parked by the curb in the photos.
