Does someone rear-ending me hurt my car’s retail value?

Hello,
Someone rear-ended me back in April and now I’m looking to sell. I got fully reimbursed for the repairs, done at the most reputable shop in the city, with their work warrantied and all that jazz. I am wondering how this affects my car’s trade-in or private-sell value? Does it hurt me? Can I get financially reimbursed for the reduction in value due to the “dirty” title my car now has?

Thanks!
