I drove into someone's hedges and fence and they came back with a contractor that it would cost $6,100 to fix it. See pictures. Can I get some advice on what I should do next? This seems really expensive but I can liquidate some of my assets to pay it off as well as use up all my life savings. Nearly no car damage.

I'm wondering two things:
- Is it really worth $6,100? Should I ask to get estimates from other local gardening contractors. It seems crazy that 4 plants and a small black wire fence cost that much (including labor).
- Should I pay out of pocket or should I file a claim? I do have the money but I don't mind using up all my life savings.
- Total of 80 labor hours divided in 3 days
- Fence Factory: Fencing material (9ga 4' chainlink black fence, 1 7/8 Clr T Bands, tension wire and post mix)
- Abe Nursery: (4) 24" Ficus Pro Garden:Fertilizer, Compost, soil staples, drip hose,, emitters, figs and couplings.
- Hauling and Dumping: Few runs to local transfer station to dispose of debris (green waste and fencing material)
