Default Got rear ended

Well I got rear ended two days ago by a guy in a ford excursion going about 25 mph he smashed the bumper in pretty good but what I am most worried about is my frame because he pushed my hit down to about a 45 degree angle and i know its weld to my frame. What do you guys think?

Hitch isn't welded to the frame. The tow bar just sits inside of it and has 4 bolts.

I just worried I got rear ended in my ranger when I was in high school and the ended up buying a new frame for it instead of calling it totalled and 20,000 miles later in a truck I had never had a problem with the tranny locked up. I dont want this to happen again but this time I have an attorney lol
