So my new car was crashed

[Eddycastillo17]

I just got the Civic about less than a month ago and two weeks later a guy crashes his car into a car that was behind mine launching my car about 30 feet is my car totaled? I know it’s hard to see because I don’t know what internal damage it received and I haven’t heard from the insurance yet whether it will be fixed or not cause at this point I don’t want a car that will have an accident on it’s record or if the damage is minimal to where the insurance will fix it what do you guys think

I am a general mechanic not a body guy but I would say no not totaled. Its gonna be several thousands in body work though so I hope he had insurance or you had uninsured motorist coverage. That sucks dude. I'm sorry.

Dame how did the truck end up upside down and that red car yea that car is totaled probably the truck too your civic though that looks like mostly just new body panels needed.

Lucky the air bags didn't pop that is always a pain in the ass. Yea second the if there is no frame damage but I kind of doubt it judging by the extent of the damage on your rear bumper. You may need a new crash bar but I would say more than likely a new bumper and maybe some fenders the quarter panels look okay in the pictures and do not see any damage to the hatch. Make sure you take it to a good body shop and demand genuine OEM replacement parts.

Judging by the truck and red car, that dude was cruising fast. They know the cause? That seems to be a bit more than just didn’t brake in time. As for totaled, I’d say probably not unless there’s frame damage under the number/hatch. Looks like the red car took the brunt of it, you’ll need a new back end/hatch, but probably won’t cost enough to total out.

Yea I was just wondering cause I don’t know if it affected my car cause it was pushed more than 30 feet with the e brake and I don’t know if that affects the car the truck driver was going at 50 miles per hour and was looking for his phone
