Glad you weren't hurt. Like Postaltwo said, going the nice route for something like this will likely just get you screwed in the end. go thru your insurance and get EVERYTHING checked. Twice.
I don't want to be a negative nelly but if your hitch moved, I'd be extra thorough on the inspection. I put a class 5 curt hitch on my '14 and that attaches to the bolt-on cross member AND the frame. Having to wrestle around under the truck, I got a good look at the structure. If you have the Mopar hitch, it attaches to the rear bolt-on cross member. That thing is a serious chunk of metal. And the only way your hitch would move is if that thing moves or is bent. the way it's attached, it really looks like the frame has to bend for either to happen.
incidentally, the reason I'm in a new '14 ram is because a flippant kid in a mini-truck, no seat belt, 4 bald tires, in the rain hit me head on in September totaling my Tundra. He was knocked into his passenger side seat but surprisingly walked away with only a knot in his head. It might just be my age, but drivers these days sure seem really sh!tty.
good luck with everything and merry Christmas!
