Yeah, the insurance company will give you the value of the car before the accident. I'm not sure if they use kbb, nada, or some other???
If the car was hit in the rear and there's previous damage to the front they'll probably deduct money for that.
Mileage, condition (other than what was caused in the accident) and previous accidents could result in a smaller pay out.
At the end of the day it's up to you to make sure you have the proper gap insurance.
I doubt you'll get anything for emotions/stress, you should get any/all hospital bills paid... and of course the towing and rental car!!!
Otherwise it's like Bill says, sh*t happens. Next time you might be the one at fault, accidents are usually just that, accidents.... It happens to the best of us! Forgive and forget...
Hope that helps, Justin.
