You know you were in a bad car accident when they estimate the damage of the vehicle at over $12,000. GADS. That’s a lot of freakin’ damage. I just found that out today.
Last Friday the shop said my car wasn’t totaled. But today they called again and they have finished estimating the damage. They put it at $12,000. (my rental car probably isn’t worth that much).
I talked to my insurance adjuster, she said if the damage to the vehicle is 80% of the value of the vehicle, they consider it totaled. The damage to my car is 75% the value of it. So Allstate (my insurance) is sending someone down to the shop tomorrow to get their opinion. The adjuster said that it is very possible that the Allstate person will find that it is actually 80% damaged and if so, then it’s totaled.
Oh joy. It freaks me out, still, that the accident was that bad. My poor car. I’m still waffling between wanting a new car, and wanting my old car back. I am liking my insurance company, though. Auto insurance comparisons are helpful too. But the real money is in how the company handles a car wreck.
So maybe I’ll know over the next few days. I guess I can have some serious things going on physically, if the car was hurt that bad. EEEEEeek.

I just hope you have gap insurance if your car was financed and you’re still paying on it. Otherwise you’ll have a lot more to worry about.
I do hope you’re feeling better!

What Margaret said; we all need gap insurance.
I hope it all works out the way it needs to for you… whether you want a new car or the old one back!

Wow- I got anxiety now reading your posts about the accident. I had one about 13 years ago and I went into to shock at the time. It was so hard to go back to driving after, I hope you are doing better and that you can move on from this quickly.
