Assuming that you had collision coverage on your car, when it is totalled, the insurer pays the "actual cash value" of the car, less the collision deductible. This represents the market value of the car immediately before the collision. It takes into account make, model, mileage, condition, and other features.
When the car is totalled, you will be given the option of keeping the salvage or letting the insurer keep it. If you keep it, the amount paid to you will be reduced by the value of the salvage.
If you keep it the salvage and have the car repaired, sometimes you are allowed to obtain a "salvage title" from the motor vehicle authorities. If the vehicle, as rebuilt, is roadworthy, you will need to insure it as you would any other vehicle.

What happens after your car is totaled and you only have liability?
If a car is totaled in an accident and only liability insurance is present, there is a chance that the other party's insurance will pay for the vehicle if the accident was their fault. If a car is totaled, but no others were involved, then the responsibility falls on the registered owner. This will not release the registered owner from paying for the vehicle, either, if money is still owed on the car.
If you are in a car accident and the car is totaled does your car loan get paid off through insurance?
Not unless you have the new option in insurance of the new car replacement. If your car is totaled, you will be paid the Blue Book price for your vehicle. This sum is the amount your vehicle is worth at this time. Any amount over this sum that is still owed to a car loan is still due.
Do I need a salvage title if the Ins. Co. wrote off the car as a total loss and paid me and I kept the car?
Typically, when an insurance co. pays you for a totaled car you surrender the car and the title to them so it's weird that you still have the car at all! Once you surrender the car to the insurance co. they report it as totaled and usually auction the car off to recoup some of their money. Your situation is odd.
