glad you are alright man, good luck getting a new s too. You got lucky that the lady was so cool about it and admitted guilt.

Sorry to read about your car. I know of someone who went into a tree and ended up being a quadraplegic so luckily you are fine, that's the important part.

People keep saying "not totaled" I think he gets it. Maybe the damage is a lot worse in person (those pics arent very good). Maybe the frame is all F'd up.

It's hard to say with those pictures, but insurance companies are not going to want to total a brand new car unless they have to.
Get an estimate of the damage and then go from there. Have one of their adjusters come looks at it.
I've had some cars get pretty messed up and not get totalled.

There have been cars on here that looked so F'd up but didn't get totaled. I don't think you will have much luck, but I'm rooting for you

The newer the car, the less the chances it will get totalled. Typically, the damage has to exceed 80% of the car's FMV. Obviously, the newer the car, the higher the FMV and hence less chance of a write-off.

So this is your second accident in one month? The police didn't come for an accident? Where do you live?
