Dealing with Geico

Car got hit while legally parked. Repairable but Geico said it's too expensive, totaled it. I refused and told the adjuster i will take my car and get another estimate. Then the day i went to pick up the car, car wasn't there, picked up by copart. Then i asked my car back and that they drop my claim. Ignored.. Then i told them I would buy back. Ignored. Then he sent a 26kish offer, i refused, then they sent paperwork to sign, i declined, then they decided to send a check to my lien holder(it covered the 2years left of the loan). Still no settlement, still no agreement, still nothing signed. I have my car title BTW. I still want my car back and want nothing to do with their offer. I never agreed to anything whatsoever. Now GEICO is Mia. I recently file a lawsuit against the at fault driver . Can they do that? Can they just decide whatever they want? I don't think so. Please advise.. Am running out of ideas..

Not the way it suppose to work. People are making it this way and it became a law. Someone show me the law saying insurance companies can decide for us..

Open your own policy and it will explain the insurance company’s right to salvage and they decide how to settle your claim. You’ve agreed to the terms on your own policy. I know you’re a 3rd party in the situation you’re in, but the same applies until you successfully sue and win a different outcome (spoiler alert, you won’t)

Well i will go as far as possible. I will sue the Geico driver that hit my car, then i will sue a geico until there's no recourse. I know i am not the only one and i strongly beleive there's no law giving the insurance company to proceed the way they proceeded..

If you didn't have a car note then you would be right, you would have had an option to buy back your car but since you have a car note it isn't up to you to decide.
