When I used to work abroad, my C900 would sit for six or more months at a time without bad effect. Eventually, my brother drove it to the junkyard under its own power at 300,000 miles - junked primarily because of rust issues and a newer family car handed down (a 740T). Newer cars draw more electrical load while parked, so you may want to disconnect the battery before it's completely drained.
Did any fluids leak at the accident site? If not, I would be tempted to just start the car.
