Default Advice please

Sad to report I've had an RTA today - blind sided at circa 65mph by a Focus from the middle lane who appeared to have panicked when all three lanes suddenly slowed; he also cannoned into a Civic but no-one hurt and damage to the other vehicles is relatively light.
I was able to continue my journey. Both N/S doors are probably unrepairable (but still open/close almost normally) and the N/S cill just dented in a couple of places but not severely distorted, slight scuff to the N/S/R leading wheel arch - lucky it was a glancing blow!
I'm guessing it's all (reasonably) repairable but presuming the insurers will try to write it off as an uneconomical repair.
My question is how do I handle the insurance company if they respond as I think they will. Going off other similar instances reported on here I mustn't let them recover the vehicle to their repairers so do I insist on an assessor visit ASAP? Must I tell them I don't accept it is a write-off?
Anything else because I have to report it first thing Monday.
Oh, anyone in the NW got a couple of good Mk2 doors in LEF/Tempest/Xpower grey
