How Do I Know If My Car Is Totaled After an Accident?

When you're in an accident, one of the most stressful concerns is whether your car is totaled. At Auto Body of Los Angeles, we can help you determine whether the damage is repairable or if your vehicle is considered a total loss by your insurance company.

Signs Your Car Might Be Totaled

• High Repair Costs: If the cost of repairing your car exceeds a certain percentage of its value (usually 70-80%), it may be considered totaled by the insurance company.
• Severe Structural Damage: If the frame of your car is bent or compromised, it might not be repairable, especially if it affects the vehicle's safety.
• Extensive Engine or Mechanical Damage: Major damage to the engine, transmission, or drivetrain may render the car a total loss.
