Drove my WRX from Phoenix to Portland, paid extra to put it on the top deck and it still showed up with a cracked bumper

I went with the enclosed top-deck spot for $1,450 over the open carrier at $950, mostly because I was scared of rock chips on the 1,300 mile haul. I would have been better off keeping the $500 and buying a car cover, because the spot meant nothing and the damage happened in their yard anyway. Anyone had luck getting a broker to actually pay out on a claim like this, or am I just eating it?
