I know this feeling. I got rear ended and my insurance ended up totaling the car because they 'thought' it had structure damage. I ended up getting a chunk of change and got the car back and I had it fully inspected and only minor things needed to be replaced like the lower control arms, got a replacement rear bumper and reinforcement, got the car fully repainted and alignment done too. That accident was like 6 years ago and yeah the title is rebuilt but I still daily it and drives fine, no uneven tire wear or issues at all.

The tough part is gonna be getting the rear end fully aligned if there is structure damage, which that appears there has been. If the rear of the car is out of whack and the front is straight the car will probably feel and drive wrong. Then you gotta worry about tires wearing unevenly also a strain on the differential, drive shaft, tranny. Not saying it can't be fixed but it can be costly and you might end up with issues when after repair. Good luck OP
