Judging from the angle of the rebar facing down at an extreme angle. The front frame rails should be fucked. Like its been said looks to be a total. What year is it? Weve replaced front frame secctions in cars before but yours looks to be alot of damage.

Thanks man. I plan to milk them good. They have already offered to cover medical, wages for missed days at work, and still waiting on what they say about my car so I can get the damn rental already.

The good thing is that I have PIP on my insurance, so that automatically gives me a 2500$ check.

What office is that? Chase? I work at 3600 Wiseman (Hartford)

I hope they total it and I plan to fight it if they don't. The car will never be the same and do not want to go through bringing the car back in for other repairs that may come up after. Including them not matching the paint (which I was told metallic grey is a difficult color to blend).

Just got the call and the car is a total loss. They valued the car at 17000 so there will be a gain from it. Just waiting on claim adjuster to give the final say.

multiple people suggesting he "milk" the insurance co. is ******* annoying.

you guys are the reason honest people have to pay 2x as much to get insured for anything, because we have to pay for all the crap you dont need, but take anyway.
