Nothing should happen.
In automobile insurance, collision coverage provides for repairing a vehicle when it is damaged due to the fault of the insured. Liability insurance provides for cost of repair of the OTHER vehicle if you damaged it.
Nothing, you have extra money and a broken vehicle.
If you haven't paid the vehicle off, then you must repair the vehicle with the insurance check. If you don't owe a bank anything, you are not required to fix the vehicle. Keep in mind, if the vehicle has unrepaired physical damage and you get in another accident the insurance company will not give you another penny. They are only required to repair the vehicle to the condition it was in prior to the accident. If it was already damaged, they won't give you a dime
If a vehicle is damaged in an auto accident the insurance company that insures the vehicle has the option to repair it, replace it, or pay the actual cash value of the car. The last one is in the case of a total loss and the company never tries to replace a vehicle anymore. In this case it would repair the vehicle and pay for the cost of repair less your deductible which you will be responsible to pay for yourself.
In terms of motor vehicle insurance, when an insurance company writes a vehicle off, they have a dedicated salvage agent, who will give them back a certain percentage of its market value (pre-incident) for every damaged vehicle sold to them. If the cost to repair the vehicle is greater than its market value minus the percentage the insurance company receives, it is known as a constructive total loss (category D), as it is more economic for the insurance company to write the vehicle off than repair it. Equation: Cost to repair > Pre accident value - Salvage percentage return = Constructive write off
THer is no fine per say for damage to someone elses vehicle unless you were doing something illegal at the time the damage occurred. You are howver, legally responsible for all cost of repair to the vehicle you damaged. If you are insured then you should submit the repair bill to your insurance company and they will take care of it for you.
If a leased vehicle is in an accident, the lessor has to notify the lease company, along with their insurance company. Sometime the lease company will have you go through your insurance for repairs, other times they send you to their repair shop (if they have one).
here in nys, if the damage is more then the value of vehicle, then its toast. unless you want to pay beyond insurance and have vehicle repaired. but most people just salvage car if it is beyond repair.
