A vehicle is totaled if it cost too much to repair it. Usually, insurance companies determine whether or not a vehicle is totaled.
If the repairs of the vehicle exceed the value of the vehicle, then the vehicle is declared total loss.
A vehicle is not automatically considered totaled simply because the airbag has deployed. Whether a vehicle is deemed totaled depends on the cost of repairs relative to its market value; if the repair costs exceed a certain percentage of the vehicle's worth, it may be classified as totaled. Deployment of the airbag often indicates significant impact, which can lead to extensive damage, but a full assessment is necessary to determine the vehicle's status.
What do I need to do if my vehicle was totaled and I had it recycled?
If the cost to repair is more than the vehicle is worth to replace then it is considered totaled.
Insurance companies will determine that your car is totaled if the cost of the damage approaches or exceeds the car
An insurance company declares a vehicle totaled when the cost to fix the vehicle exceeds 70% or more of its market value.
When the cost to repair the vehicle back to good condition exceeds 75% of the value of that vehicle in good condition it is considered "totaled".
I was sued by my lease company eventhough my vehicle was totaled for not paying. I'm no expert but if I were you then I would because they have no hearts.
'ticketed' really doesn't matter.........what matters is who is responsible or liable for the loss...........and no they do not have to 'replace' your totaled vehicle they owe you the acv (actual cash value) of your vehicle........
Once a car is totaled it is gone. Usually the insurance company takes the car for them to sell and get some extra money and if it is claimed as a totaled vehicle I would not recommend driving it on the street where you can hurt yourself or someone else.
get a good job............you will (assuming you are at fault for this loss) be require to pay for the totaled vehicle.........
The same as a purchased truck that has been wrecked. You will have been required to insure the vehicle. Contact the insurance company and file a claim. An adjustor will determine if the vehicle should be repaired or totaled.
