If you have collision insurance, they will pay out up to 40-70% of the value of the car in repair costs.

If you have only liability insurance, you're on your own for the repairs.

If a vehicle is wrecked then totaled and it has a lost title will this affect the insurance claim?
Totaled vehicles which have been rebuilt generally have a "salvaged vehicle" title, or whatever it's called in your state. Vehicles with a salvaged vehicle title are by definition, not as valuable as the same vehicle with a clean title. If the vehicle is subsequently in another collision, the insurance company will not pay as much since the loss was not as great. Insurance companies only need to pay you for the actual value of the vehicle.
