Fortunately no one seriously injured. Suspect he was uninsured. Will find out tomorrow.

At this point it awaits evaluation for damage by adjuster. Car only 4 months old and less than 4000 miles. Aarrgh. Those that have more knowledge than I please offers opinions as to what to push for. Should I expect it will be totaled or repaired? With that force of impact I would imagine structural damage. Thx

Can definitely be fixed! Especially with all the stuff going on now insurance adjusters just did everything through pictures so odds are they'll cough up the money especially on the high msrp. Good luck with everything glad you're okay! Cars can be replaced humans can't!
100% percent of cars hit can be repaired.

This car should reach total loss by value or frame damage.

That entire frontend is toast
Just depends on the adjuster to be honest, I've seen a lot worse get fixed. 35k plus damages get repaired with the whole front end smashed so bad you couldn't tell what car it is

I was a claims adjuster fresh out of college for 5 years; not anymore. Long time ago

Most carriers have a threshold. It's typically 40% of market value once you get there it's totaled

No carrier is fronting $50k for repairs and car now worth est. $80k with insurance premium at say $3000

Also frame damage= total

Flood

Lemon buy back

Lots of variables

work with repair shop to make sure it's totaled wink wink

They can salvage sell the car

People buy salvage cars all the time

Ever see a car crabbing down the highway

That guy who got a mint M3 for $30k with only 10,000 miles
