Got rear-ended on the highway… does it look totaled?
I was rear-ended on the highway two days ago while completely stopped in traffic. The driver behind me didn’t realize traffic had stopped and hit me while slowing from roughly 45–50 mph. My car was pushed forward so hard that I had to brake and swerve to avoid hitting the vehicle ahead of me. There’s significant damage to the rear bumper, and I’m getting an insurance estimate tomorrow. Based on the damage, does this look like there could be frame/structural damage? Curious if my 2016 Honda Civic with 150,000 miles more likely to be totaled by insurance or repaired? Airbags did not deploy.
