I'd say they'll probably write it off. The exact same thing happened to me last winter. I know its probably different down there but up here in BC, they said it was worth $2300 but they put a limit on what they would spend to fix it at $1800. With the frame bent like that they said it would cost $1400 without including what they couldn't see which could've easily put me over the $1800 at which point, it starts to come out of my pocket.
After discussing my options, they deemed it a rolling write off, so I could find another one and swap any non-stock parts over, then bring it back and get the $2300 for it. It worked well for me as I found another one with 100,000kms less on it for $1800 and I got to swap all my parts around.
My advice would be to not sign anything until you are 100% positive you know whats going on and make sure you find out all of your options. What Bobdog was describing above may be attractive to you as well.
