Three strange electrical problems after rear-end collision 700 1990

I got rear-ended yesterday, while stopped at a stop light. There is some body damage in the rear, and my power antenna doesn't extend all the way.

Also three new electrical problems have cropped up as of the accident.
a) my fuel gauge doesn't work quite right. It comes on, and sometimes goes off,
sometimes stays on.
b) My SRS light stays on all the time
c) The automatic gear-shift illumination no longer comes on.

So what could cause these three problems more or less simultaneously?

Also, when I start the car, there is more vibration than there was previously, this vibration dampens as I run the car, and pick up the revs. Is it possible that a rear-end collision could have affected the engine mounts? Or is this vibration from something else?

Thanks!
Ashok

P.S. The other car -- a '98 Toyota Camry had an uninsured driver. I have $250 deductible on mine. Any suggestions on how to collect that from the other driver?
