Good on ya for going to the doc. Make sure you mention the stiff neck to get it into the record, since you may be asked to release the record to the insurance co later. I'm not advocating any fraud, just leverage if things aren't working out to your satisfaction. But it will be fine dealing with the driver's insurance co, I'm sure.
The earlier posters that said that the bike is of little concern are correct- my friend got left-hooked, and the insurance co bought him a new complete groupset, wheels and fork for his high zoot ti Merlin (the frame was deemed to be OK) (around 3000 bucks). They paid for a couple of dr visits and a couple of accupuncture sessions and some compensation for lost work time- Like you, he was just bruised up some. He took the bike into the shop that originally built it for him to get an estimate for the work, and presented bills to the insurance co. They didn't bat an eye when they wrote him a check, and were quite cordial and cooperative. He had the impression that this collision was one of the least expensive claims they had to deal with in ages.
