no, go ahead and file your claim because its going to be costly to get it fixed right. if it was just a banged bumper then I agree let maaco or a little carsmetics place fix that, but if they keyed your doors too they're going to have to grind the damaged area down to basecoast, then wetsand and respray that ENTIRE side of the car and it not going to be cheap. if both doors are f'd up minimum for paint alone at a cheap shop is going to be 800 and you're probably gonna need a new rear bumper/valence. i hope thats not an /M. the downside too is you will notice the colormatch is never 100% in daylight even with the best bodyshops. sorry to hear about that man, the same thing happened to my mini years back when they first came out
