What happens if you're in a car accident and your car is a total loss, but you're still paying it off?

Question:
I was in an accident today, and am guessing it will be a total loss, but am still paying it off. Will I have to make double payments now, if I get a new car, or will the insurance pay it off and give me the difference? I would like answers from experience, please, or someone who knows (like if you work for an insurance company). Thanks!

Am I paying too much for auto insurance?

I am pretty sure what happens is that give you the blue book value of your car. This is where that gap insurance comes in handy on a newly bought car that is used. Your car depreciates in value due to many different factors and the insurance will most likely give you what you would price you car for at www.kbb.com. You then take that money and send it to your credit union (whatever the remainder of your loan is) and you keep the rest considerign there is a rest to keep.
