What is a Total Loss?
A Total Loss refers to a situation where a vehicle is deemed uneconomical to repair, and the insurance company determines it should be declared a loss instead of being fixed.
For example, when the cost of repairs and associated expenses exceeds a significant portion of the vehicle’s market value, insurers typically choose to total the vehicle and offer a settlement based on its pre-accident value.
This settlement is known as the total loss value, and it should reflect the fair market value of your vehicle before the accident, based on comparable vehicles and real market data.
