Answer
Hi Patty,

The determination of totalling the car will only be done after an estimate of the repair cost is made. An insurance company will generally only total a vehicle if the repair cost is more than 75% of it's pre-damage value.

Also remember that you will be entitled to be paid for the diminished value of your vehcle. For more information on diminished value visit www.collisionclaims.com .

I hope this helps
