Car Accident- In a total loss, how does insurance handle it?

Question:
Does the insurance company give you the blue book value for a car in good condition or bad condition? Also, do they take in to account if the accident was my fault, as far as settling?

They SHOULD give you book value, less your deductible. Go to kbb.com and nada.com and find out for sure what your car is worth. They may try to lowball you with the first offer, but if you can show them a printed page from kbb or nada, they will likely offer you the actual value without much problem. As for it being your fault, that should not matter, as that is why you bought insurance in the first place, isn't it? They are simply doing what they said they would when they issued the policy. Your rates may go up in the future, however.

BTW, I hope you weren't hurt. If you were, and there are substantial medical bills, I would involve an attorney ASAP. Not that you want to sue them, but the atty. will make sure they are giving you everything you deserve.

If you have problems with them giving you the full value of your car, just tell them you would be willing to let the insurance commissioner in your state settle it for you. It would be handy to know his/her name so that they know you have done your homework. The last thing they want is an investigation by the insurance commissioner.

Insurance companies have their own book of values that they use, and give you the retail value of the vehicle at the time of loss, adjusted for condition. Add ons, improved stereo systems, trim packages, electric seats and door locks, etc. all add. Prior damage, high mileage, etc. all deduct.

If they consider it a total loss, and pay you, the vehicle is then theirs, and they will send someone with a car carrier to pick it up and take it away, where they will salvage it for parts in an attempt to recoup their losses.
