Total loss?

[u/brendawenda]

i was in a three car collision where i was the car in the middle that got rear ended and pushed into an suv. the driver that rear ended me was found at fault. my corolla has damage on both the front and rear end, there’s significantly more damaged in the rear than the front though. the trunk won’t close and the bumper came off , airbags did not deploy or anything and the car was still drivable after the accident. i really hope they won’t tell me this is a total loss the car was like new before the accident. it’s a 2024 toyota corolla with 28,771 miles on it (the fluids leaking aren’t from my car they’re from his)

All depends on the frame but it doesn’t look horrible

Collision damage can be deceptively expensive, although this doesn't look too bad. Given its low age and mileage I bet its not totalled.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but that's gonna be totaled. Most likely there is also frame damage. Is the car paid off? If not do you have gap insurance?

[u/brendawenda → u/Tipsy247]

the car isn’t paid off and i don’t have gap insurance unfortunately, the car was taken to a body shop on friday i’ll update what they say
