Default 2012 Grand Caravan Durability After Collision

A month ago I was in a collision. Fortunately my van suffered the brunt of the impact, being T-boned all along the right side.We thought about scrapping it, but because my van also has a mobility conversion on it we are not in the financial situation to buy a new van. I will have pictures below, but I found it surprising that only the right-hand side curtain airbags deployed (I thought both side curtain airbags would deploy). The body shop I have my van in is in partnership with my mobility dealership, so once the body shop works on the chassis itself the mobility dealership will look at the conversion's damage. This is my first car so my question is: will I still be safe in the van if I choose to repair it?

Thanks for the responses

Yes but they are only willing to cover $7,000 towards repairs we were told the van needs at least $10,000 in repairs. We are atteptmting to take the other party to litigation to cover the rest of repair cost
