After it's Repaired, it's called a " Salvaged Rebuilt Vehicle". before it's repaired it's called a total wrecked vehicle. Most insurers will not provide insurance for a total wrecked vehicle unless proven that the vehicle was prematurely declared a total loss.
This would not apply to cars being rebuilt from the ground up, such as classics

in most states, even if a salvaged vehicle has been repaired it is still a 'branded' title...and thus worth less.......in the states i work in a fully repaired salvaged title vehicle is worth anywhere from 30-50% less on a total loss, (reduces the actual cash value)........now, if salvaged vehicle say is worth 4k and damages are 1k, then they will repair the damaged portion......
How does someone salvage cars?
A salvage vehicle is one that has received a certain percentage of the vehicle's worth in damage (determined by the state the vehicle is registered in). To salvage a vehicle in most states, one must be licensed to repair the vehicles and the vehicle, once repaired, usually has to be inspected. If the vehicle is salvaged and repaired to be sold, it is the responsibility of the seller to disclose the salvage title.
If your already salvaged car is in another accident that is the other persons fault does his insurance company pay anything?
Why are you driving a salvaged car. If the car has any value they may pay something. If they damaged something that wasn't already damaged, they might pay something. You may end up having some fault for driving an unsafe vehicle as well if it was salvaged vehicle that was not repaired.

Can you put full coverage insurance on a car with a salvage title car in Minnesota?
On every auto application, there is a question will ask: "Does the vehicle have a salvaged or branded title?" If this is the case, you will not be able to put full coverage, (comprehensive and collision coverage) on the vehicle. Sometime you can get special exceptions from your insurance carrier to get the full coverage put on if all damage was repaired. It is much harder to get full coverage on a salvaged title vehicle.
Is it legal in California to ask full retail value for a salvaged title vehicle?
You can ask anything you want to for it. Whether you can get it is another matter. California law requires you to tell them it is a salvaged title vehicle. If you do not tell them you have committed fraud and are subject to fines and jail time.Note: a legal salvage title will indicate that the vehicle is salvaged!
If a vehicle is wrecked then totaled and it has a lost title will this affect the insurance claim?
Totaled vehicles which have been rebuilt generally have a "salvaged vehicle" title, or whatever it's called in your state. Vehicles with a salvaged vehicle title are by definition, not as valuable as the same vehicle with a clean title. If the vehicle is subsequently in another collision, the insurance company will not pay as much since the loss was not as great. Insurance companies only need to pay you for the actual value of the vehicle.
