Its hard to say without looking but with quarter panel damage I'm betting they total it. My car just needed a front clip, headlight bracketry, hood and grille and my insurance estimated 3700 which didn't total it but the other insurance said 5500 in damage. So really it depends on your insurance but quarters are more work than a fender.

If the car needs the quarter panel replaced they may try and total it, if the damage is light to the quarter and it can be fixed then you'll be fine. Especially if you want it back.
