Usually if the repair bill meets or exceeds 70% of the cars book value, the insurance company will usually opt to total the car and pay it off. If your car is worth $10,000 and the bill is $7,000, you'll probably get the $10,000 minus any applicable deductibles and other fees.

Can a request be made to an accident repair shop to declare a car totaled?

Ultimately, the decision to declare a vehicle a total loss belongs to the insurance company. If the insurance company is unable to have one of their own adjusters look at the vehicle, they will usually hire an independent. The repair shop can write an estimate and take pictures, but the insurance company will decide (based on state law and their own policies) whether or not the vehicle is a total loss.


Can my license be suspended for not paying insuranc I placed on someone elses vehicle?

In most states an insurance company must report to the DMV of your state that your insurance is been canceled. This often results in your state suspending your drivers license unless you can prove that you do not have a vehicle, and that the reason your insurance was canceled was because you no longer have a vehicle. The license plate that was obtained for the vehicle must be returned to the DMV. If insurance was purchased for the vehicle from another insurance company, then you must provide proof that you have insurance from the new insurance company. If the actual owner of the vehicle bought insurance from another insurance company, then this should be easy to prove.

If you wreck your vehicle, the insurance company pays you off and you give them the title for the vehicle.
