2017 Tacoma accident totaled?

An inspector from my insurance company is coming to see the vehicle this Friday but I’m curious about how much fixes might be or if it might be considered totaled?
Any suggestions about what to do next would be greatly appreciated.

 

Mine didn't look half that bad, and they totaled it. Good luck and glad you're ok!

 

It all depends on whether or not the frame is damaged...

My friends with 3rd Gens! What do you think? Totaled...?

 

Even if the frame is bent they could still fix it, kinda curious as to what will happen. Sure hope your buddy is ok after that.

 

Looks like somasshole hit it.

 

If the frame is bent, then it will most likely be totaled.

 

Ill be the first one i guess...

 

i got hit twice, someone came out way to fast out of a parking lot hitting my left side, there's some damage to the rear passenger door, and wheel sent the car sideways into the incoming traffic and was hit again. the rear left tire seems a bit off but I'm not sure if I'm just seeing things because of the bed being destroyed

 

”Somasshole” hit my truck back in October 2015...

Over $2,200 in damage, and not just somasshole either; Somdrunkasshole!

 

Happy you're ok, OP. Looks like a nasty wreck

As for the truck, totalled or not, I wouldn't want to continue owning it. If it were me, I'd see what insurance says, and either total it or if they want to repair, get it fixed and trade it in.

 

My money's on totaled.........

 

What was the at-fault party driving?

 

Gonner, glad you're ok. That's a tough spot to get hit twice on. Let us know.

 

does anyone know exactly how I can go about fighting for diminished value?
I'm very new at this and you all have been very helpful thank you all!

 

Air Bags go off?
They are pricey...

 

Only the adjuster gets to decide.
That said, some basic info will help the guesstimaters in this game. I mean, if it's a 2016 with a 120k miles on it, yeah. If it's a 2020 with 12 miles, then no.

 

I hate to say this, but back in 2012 or so my parents tried to fight for diminished value and it didn't go so well...

My dad was driving his 2008 Acura TL, and a RAV4 made an illegal left turn and clobbered his car on the left rear; The Acura was not totaled, but it had to be towed and it had about $5,000 in damage. There no airbag deployment. The other driver's insurance company paid to fix the Acura, and the body shop did a great job, but trying to get diminished value was a losing battle...

 

Get a lawyer. And don’t agree nothing yet with insurance. I would hope they would total it and get another.

 

If they total it then you don’t get diminished value too. I’m guessing that’s totaled if it also extend up in to the cab.
